LAKEWOOD, Ohio — Raising Cane's is helping out their employees during the COVID-19 crisis.
They are distributing $2 million to crewmembers across the company.
“When the crisis began, we created a mantra ‘NO CREW LEFT BEHINDTM,’ and I made a promise that we would all get through this together,” Co-CEO AJ Kumaran said. “Our Crew has continued to stay positive while working incredibly hard, and some even reduced their hours in order to keep everyone’s job safe. We are extremely grateful for their shared sacrifice and are blessed to have such an amazing Crew. Thanks to their hard work, Raising Cane’s will come out of this crisis even stronger than before. I couldn’t be prouder and more thankful for each and every one of our Restaurant Leaders and Crewmembers."
The $2 million payout is intended to make up for the hours that each employee gave up at the beginning of this pandemic, so that all employees could continue to work.
"It’s really special to see all of our Crew come together, showing solidarity for each other. Their hard work and dedication to keep our restaurants open and safe, helped ensure our sales would come back strong. Not only are sales strong, but they continue to grow and this is just one way we can make it right for them. Our crewmembers truly embodied the idea that we’re all in this together," said owner Todd Graves.
