In order to care for the planet, we must care for each other. We work with ethical manufactures to ensure that employees are compensated and cared for.
Employees receive:
  • Competitive wages well over the minimum salary
  • PTO and holiday pay

  • Are served a fresh, nutritious, hot meal daily
  • Optional overtime where they are paid at least time and a half or up to three times their hourly rate
