Culture Starts Before Day One #CultureDriven #RestaurantLeadership #TeamRetention

Culture starts before the employee does. So when you're sitting down interviewing and you're pitching yourself, there was a time when I was a young man where I was the pitch when I was trying to get a job, I was trying to sell myself. That ain't like that anymore, dude. Now it's. People are looking at, why should I work here? You sell me on why I should work here. Probably the most radical stuff that we do lies in how we pitch. So we do like $30 a quarter incentive that we're going to pay for something. So we have this big giant list like you can get pet insurance or Netflix or your Amazon prime account paid for. You could get. We do promotions where we trade gift cards with all the restaurants in town here across the street, and we use that to do promotions for staff or we'll, you know, give them a gift card to go eat someplace else for different performance things, anniversary stuff like that. But it's all full trade, so it's low. On the money side, we definitely offer a leading wage in the industry. I think we're about $2.50 to $3 higher per hour starting than anybody around us. But there's also, there's. There's a philosophy attached to that. So it's a short question, long answer. We offer all of our employees get two consecutive days off. That's. That's an important part of our package. Doesn't exist in the restaurant industry. Everybody's on tip share. So for the back of the house, that comes out to about $253 an hour, depending on days of the week that you work in the volumes, that's a pretty big deal.
