WHY THIS GUIDE EXISTS

With over 10 million workers nationwide, the U.S. restaurant industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors of the American economy, even during the current economic crisis. Unfortunately, despite the industrys growth, restaurant workers suffer under poverty wages and poor working conditions. In particular, the industry suffers from:

1 LOW WAGES With a federal minimum wage of $2.13 for tipped workers
and $7.25 for non-tipped workers, the median wage for restaurant workers is $8.90, just below the poverty line for a family of three. This means that more than half of all restaurant workers nationwide earn less than the federal poverty line.

2 NO PAID SICK LEAVE 90% of the more than 4,300 restaurant workers
surveyed by the Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) report not having paid sick leave, and two-thirds report cooking, preparing, and serving food while sick, making sick leave for restaurant workers not only a worker rights issue but a pressing concern in public health!

3 OCCUPATIONAL SEGREGATION Women, immigrants, and people

of color hold lower-paying positions in the industry, and do not have many opportunities to move up the ladder. Among the 4,300 workers surveyed, we found a $4 wage gap between white workers and workers of color, and 73% reported not receiving regular promotions on the job.

WHY THIS GUIDE EXISTS

Over the last ten years, the Restaurant Opportunities Center has grown into a national restaurant workers organization seeking improved wages and working conditions for workers in one of the nations largest and fastestgrowing sectors. In particular, ROC is fighting to:

1 RAISE THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE FOR TIPPED WORKERS

$2.13 is not enough! ROC has worked with Congressmember Donna Edwards (D-MD) to introduce the WAGES Act, which would increase the tipped minimum wage to 70% of the regular minimum wage. 70% of the current minimum wage would be $5. We are also working with other organizations such as the National Employment Law Project to win a minimum wage increase for all workers from $7.25 to at least $9.

2 WIN PAID SICK LEAVE ROC is working with a large coalition of

organizations to pass the Healthy Families Act, a federal bill that would provide 7 paid sick days to all workers in America, and to win local and state paid sick days campaigns around the country.

3 ELIMINATE OCCUPATIONAL SEGREGATION BY RACE AND GENDER ROC is supporting workers in campaigns against discrimination and occupational segregation in some of the nations highest-profile restaurants, and encouraging employers to have transparent promotions policies that allow workers in the restaurant to move up the ladder based on merit and seniority. ROC trains workers in front-of-house skills and
2

creates pathways to culinary and hospitality college degrees to help provide all workers access to living wage jobs. As weve grown around the country talking about these important campaigns, consumers keep asking uswhere should we eat out? How can we make informed dining choices to help promote improved wages and working conditions for the people who cook, prepare, and serve our food? This Guide is our response. We at ROC have partnered with over 50 restaurant companies in the eight cities in which ROC currently has affiliatesChicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. These employer partners are doing their best to promote these policies within their own establishments, and are thus taking the high road to profitability. Many of them are listed in this Guide. We have also launched and won campaigns to move other companies from taking the low road to profitabilityengaging in exploitation and discriminationto taking the high road. Our research has shown that these changes will improve the restaurant industry for workers, employers, and consumers. Weve created this Guide to help you, the consumer, let the restaurant industry know you support these changes.

HOW THE GUIDE WORKS

You, the consumer, can join us in making this industry a better place for all of us, by using this Diners Guide every time you eat out. Heres how it works: Working with students from Tulane University and the University of California at Los Angeles, we asked restaurants about their practices with * regard to: a) wages for tipped and non-tipped workers; b) paid sick leave and other benefits; and c) opportunities for workers to move up the ladder. We asked this information from all of our high road restaurant partners in our eight current affiliate cities and from the top 150 highest revenuegrossing restaurants in America. Using the Restaurants & Institutions Top 400 list1, we identified the top 50 highest revenue-grossing restaurants in each of the industrys three segments. QUICK SERVE: fast food, delis, and any establishment without waiter service CASUAL: full service restaurants with casual service FINE DINING: higher-priced full-service restaurants2 Some restaurants did not provide us with all requested information. If any of these restaurantsor any other in Americacan provide us with this information, we would be happy to update the Guide.
1 http://www.rimag.com/article/print/372414-R_I_2009_Top_400_Restaurants_Chains.php 2 For restaurant chains with multiple locations, we asked about these practices from restaurants within the chain primarily in Alabama and Texas, but also in Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Georgia. In all of those states, there is no state labor law and only federal labor law applies; thus, wages paid in establishments in those states would be the lowest wage paid by the restaurant chain anywhere in the country. * ROC thanks Professor Aaron Schneider of Tulane University and Professor Abel Valenzuela of UCLA for their assistance.

Based on the information gathered, each restaurant listed in the Guide is marked with the following symbols:

HIGH-ROAD RESTAURANT If the restaurant belongs to one of ROCs Restaurant Industry Roundtablesa group of employers working to promote the high road to profitability in the industrythe restaurant receives a symbol in this category. If it does not belong, they receive a 0. TIPPED WORKER WAGES ROC argues that a minimum wage of
less than $5 for a worker who receives tips is not sustainable. A restaurant receives a tip jar symbol if the lowest wage paid to any tipped worker in the United States is $5. If the restaurant pays less than thator only the federal minimum wage of $2.13 for tipped workersit receives a 0. If the information is unknown they receive a ? in this category.

NON-TIPPED WORKER WAGES A minimum wage of less than $9 for a worker who doesnt receive tips is also not sustainable. The restaurant receives a $9 icon if the lowest wage paid to any non-tipped worker in the United States is $9, a 0 if the lowest wage paid is less, or the non-tipped minimum wage of $7.25, and a ? if the information is unknown. PAID SICK DAYS A restaurant receives a health symbol if it provides paid sick days, a 0 if it does not, and a ? if the information is unknown.3
3 We gathered information about health benefits, but enough information about the nature and quality of benefits provided to give an evaluative ranking. This information can be provided upon request. Restaurant owners and managers interested in providing health care to employees should check out ROCs affordable health care cooperative, ROC-MD, at www.rocunited.org/research-resources/for-employers-education-materials/.

HOW THE GUIDE WORKS

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT A restaurant receives an upward mobility symbol in this category if 50% or more of its current employees have moved up in position. If the restaurant has not provided at least 50% of its employees a promotion, it has a 0 listed. If the information is unknown, we have placed a ?. GOLD & SILVER PRIZE Some restaurants listed in the Guide fared so well on the criteria we rewarded them for their efforts. Restaurants who were awarded three of the four symbols received a GOLD PRIZE, and those awarded two symbols received a SILVER PRIZE. Look for the Gold and Silver winners throughout the Guide. Many of the winners are offering consumers discount coupons at their restaurants, listed at the end of the Guide. Look out for restaurants that have offered coupons marked by this symbol .

HOW YOU CAN USE THIS GUIDE

We at ROC understand that running a restaurant can present lots of challenges, and that paying higher wages, providing benefits, and increasing internal mobility can seem difficult. But the Gold and Silver Prize Winners in this Guide show us that it can be done. We want to help all restaurants move toward winning these prizes, and for this reason are releasing a companion Guide for employers to show them how they can implement these changes while maintaining a successful, sustainable business. But we also know they need encouragement from you! So please: 1 Support the Gold and Silver Prize Winners in this Guide, and let us know about other restaurants in your community who might be willing to share documentation to show that they, too, should be listed as Winners. 2 Show the managers the Diners Guide and let them know you care about how they rank in the Guide. Encourage them to improve their practices or, if they are already meeting Diners Guide standards, tell them to provide ROC with more information that will help them win a Gold or Silver Prize. Let them know that youd like to see them move to Winner status. 3 Give out the enclosed Tip Cards to both workers and managers in these restaurants, to allow them to see the Diners Guide online and let them know that there is an organization fighting for better restaurant conditions for all. Tip cards can be found on pages 41-59 of this Guide. Additional tip cards can be downloaded at www.rocunited.org/dinersguide. Tip cards for workers are available at this website in multiple languages, including Spanish, Mandarin, and French.

HOW YOU CAN USE THIS GUIDE

When you go out to eat, you shouldnt get wage theft, racism, and sick cooks in the kitchen, along with your meal. How the food tastes at a restaurant really doesnt matter, if the people who work there are being mistreated. This guide will help you separate the good guys from the bad. ERIC SCHLOSSER, author of Fast Food Nation No matter how good the food, how local the ingredients, no one wants to support a restaurant that takes advantage of its workers. It is possible for restaurants do the right thing and make money. ROC promotes that high road to profitability. ROCs work helps people like you and me find restaurants that are doing the right by their workers. JOSH VIERTEL, President, Slow Food USA
