		<description>Hi Sherry, I have found that sometimes it is the smaller restaurants and family-owned that give more to the staff. In my experience, people sometimes associate larger companies with better benefits, but that is not always the case. I wsih companies only realized the benefit of offering some sort of benefit package. I am not surprised that the restaurant would have low turnover.  There are not too many small family owned restaurants that would be that generous.  Its always happy to hear of stories like that.</description>

		<description>My restaurant pays me over and above minimum wage plus we get tronc (tips collected for each service). Every year we get bonus items like restaurant vouchers of 100 pounds and shopping vouchers of 250 pounds. End of the year we get x&#039;mas gifts too.
I&#039;m not a full time chef at the kitchen but I&#039;m sure loving all the benefits I&#039;m getting! :)

Have a great weekend!</description>

		<description>There is a small family-owned restaurant in my little town of Lexington, NC that pays over twice the minimum server wage to its wait staff and that&#039;s just for starters. They are closed every Sunday and have paid holidays and vacations for every single employee, whether part-time or full-time. They also have paid health insurance for the full-time employees. Not surprisingly, there is almost no turnover, and they consistently have people standing in line to get inside. Their food, while good, is not outstanding compared to other restaurants in the area, but it is THE place to go when in the vicinity. Go figure.</description>
