Cafe Rouge and Bella Italia owner enters administration with loss of 1,900 jobs

More than 1,900 jobs are set to be cut as Casual Dining Group, which owns Cafe Rouge and Bella Italia, said it would close 91 of its restaurants after calling in administrators.

The company said it would close 91 of its 250 restaurants, but has saved others for now.

It still leaves around 4,050 workers at the company’s sites across the UK.

The board said that entering administration was in the best interest of stakeholders during the “extreme operating environment” it is having to trade through.
