"Clubs operate differently from pubs - the party starts much later. Before, much of our sales came after 1am. Now business peaks at 1.30am and customers have less than an hour to enjoy themselves because by 2.30, we have to start clearing the drinks," said Mr Foo, 36. "We understand where the policy is coming from but from a business standpoint, it is not doable anymore."
