@deeptinyc @eater said it best 🗣🗣🗣 “But

Last month, we were super honored to have @calasf’s Emma Rosenbush join us to talk about Cala’s revolutionary approach to Second Chance Hiring.

"I feel strongly that if you’re interested in hiring people who are formerly incarcerated, there’s a stigma about hiring people who've only committed lower offenses. I don’t believe in that. We had the most success with people who had people with a very long sentence; they had a different level of work ethic and dedication.

We didn’t ask what someone’s history had been, and ultimately that position allowed someone who maybe just spent 20 years institutionalized an opportunity to really learn the vibe of the restaurant; things that we take for granted." 💬 — Emma Rosenbush / @calasf

More about the impact of @calasf’s approach is featured in the @netflix documentary A Tale Of Two Kitchens featuring @gabrielacamara @contramarmx @calasf. We’re so grateful for Emma’s insight and testimony. 🌟

This month’s call we’ll discuss the Raise The Wage Act - what it is, and what it means for our industry as we rebuild our businesses and communities in the long road ahead. 📈⚖️💲
