OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE OWNER & MANAGEMENT OF CHEF RAM
To our valued customers, employees, suppliers, business partners, friends, and everyone who has supported Chef Ram:
In light of the issues and allegations that have recently circulated on social media, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to temporarily pause the operations of Chef Ram Main – Balanga effective today.
We want to make one thing clear:
This is NOT an announcement of permanent closure.
This is a necessary pause.
For many years, as owners, we entrusted much of the day-to-day operations of the business—including certain administrative, operational, payroll, and employee-related responsibilities—to the people assigned to manage them.
Following the recent issues that came to our attention, we realized that it is now necessary for us, as owners, to personally step back into the operations, review our internal systems, reconcile our records, establish proper accountability and turnover, and address matters that require proper documentation, verification, and management attention.
Before we open our doors again, we want to fix what needs to be fixed.
Part of this process is a comprehensive internal review involving employee records, salaries and benefits, payroll documentation, company assets and inventory, operational procedures, management responsibilities, proper turnover, and other pending internal concerns.
We also want to acknowledge the serious impact that the posts and allegations circulating online have had on Chef Ram.
The situation has affected not only us as owners. It has affected our business, our operations, our reputation, and most importantly, the livelihood of our employees and their families.
We understand that people have questions and concerns. Those concerns deserve to be addressed properly, fairly, and based on complete and verified records—not through speculation, incomplete information, or trial by social media.
At the same time, we take seriously the publication, sharing, reposting, and circulation of statements that may have caused damage to our business and reputation. The matter is being documented, and we are already taking the appropriate steps to pursue available legal remedies, including possible action under applicable cyberlibel laws where warranted.
Any appropriate action concerning individuals who created, shared, reposted, or made potentially defamatory statements will be evaluated based on the evidence and handled through the proper legal channels and due process.
Our immediate priority, however, is to put our own house in order.
We will review.
We will reconcile.
We will correct.
We will strengthen our systems.
And we will take responsibility for the matters that properly belong to management.
Moving forward, Chef Ram will operate under stronger internal controls, clearer accountability, proper documentation, and a more organized and responsible management system.
For now, we ask for your understanding while we focus on resolving our internal concerns, including matters involving our employees’ salaries, benefits, records, and other company obligations.
We are choosing to face these matters, address what needs to be addressed, and put things in order before we operate again.
To our employees affected by this operational pause, we recognize how difficult this situation is. Management will communicate directly with each of you regarding the appropriate next steps based on verified company and employment records.
To our loyal customers and everyone who continues to believe in Chef Ram, thank you.
This may be a difficult chapter, but this is not where the Chef Ram story ends.
We will return when things are properly organized, when our internal concerns have been addressed, and when we are ready to operate under a stronger, more organized, and more accountable system.
For now, we pause.
We fix what needs to be fixed.
We put our house in order.
We rebuild properly.
And when the time is right, we will open our doors again.
Please wait for further announcements and updates through our official Chef Ram page.
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support.
