-1 The restaurant has to pay the Mashgiach separately from the Hashgacha either way, So they are paying this Mashgiach through Rabbi Weiner, so that he can stay on top of him, being that he holds his paycheck.

And as a side point, Quite a few big gevirim offered Rabbi Weiner to cover any expenses it would take to make Sheyan/Keyara Kosher.

Wrong. Besides agudahs mashgiach R Weiner has and pays another mashgiach nothing to do with the restaurant.

They got rid of Aguda's Mashgiach some time ago, being that he was unreliable. I think Rabbi Weiner's Mashgiach is the only Mashgiach there now.

100% my point was that Rabbi Weiner would not have to pay out of his pocket, not that it would make it profitable. Although I don't think he took anyone up on their offer...

Please tell me in what universe would any sound person pay money out of his pocket to help a restaurant make money that he has no personal vested interest nor has the cash flow.
Ah so you mean R Weiner is lying??
You said his son said it. Maybe his son thinks that's the case but my money is that it's not

First of all maybe it's for the sake of Kashrus, not to help the restaurant make money. And secondly I don't believe he is paying money out of his own pocket.

For the sake of kashrus he can tell people not to eat there. No need to pay a salary.

The entire point of KFI is to tell people where they can eat, not where they can't. R' Senter started it to increase the number of restaurants where Americans are allowed to eat

Is having more places to eat in a restaurant for the sake of kashrus or for the sake of taavos?
