ScS, the sofa retailer, has informed its store staff that they will now need to purchase their own tea and coffee due to new directives from its Italian parent company, Poltronesofà. This move reflects a broader strategy by Poltronesofà to streamline operations and enhance control over the ScS brand following its acquisition earlier this year. All expenses must now be approved by the Italian management. This was reported by Furnishings Report.

Internal communications reveal that employees are required to maintain spreadsheets detailing their spending on fresh milk and other refreshments, which were previously provided by the company.
The changes come after a recent turnover in ScS's leadership, prompting Poltronesofà to reclaim authority over various operational decisions that had been previously delegated. According to an anonymous ScS employee, every single penny of expenditure has to be agreed by Italy now.
