A Workplace that Works for Everyone.
Since opening in 2018, we’ve been committed to creating a place where workers can earn a dignified living and share in the dream of owning their own business. With the rising cost of living — and Boston being one of the most expensive cities in the country — we’ve been exploring ways to strengthen our business model while supporting our team and our guests.
To this end, we give 7% of all food sales directly to our kitchen team. As a worker-owned, high road business, this is one of many ways we invest in our staff — from paying higher than average wages to offering benefits and opportunities for long-term growth and shared ownership.
