Additional Culture Details
We continue to invest radically in building a relationally sound culture from the inside-out. Staff members have a strong tendency to stay once they become a part of our team. 15% of our full-timers have been with us for more than 10 yrs, a statistic that is unheard of in the restaurant business. Each year we celebrate our team members’ growth and successes by recognizing 5,10, 20, 30 and 40 year employees. Promotion within the organization is commonplace and many team members across all levels, including our current Chief Operating Officer, Regional and District Managers have moved up the ranks from entry level positions.
