Raising Cane’s long-standing run as one of Dallas Morning News’ “Top Workplaces D-FW” continues as the outlet named Cane’s as a top workplace for the 15th consecutive year. Cane’s is the only company to be recognized every year since the list’s 2008 inception, which honors “outstanding places where employees actually enjoy going to work” and reviews thousands of companies when narrowing down the best of the best.
Out of the more than 750 Restaurants and 50,000+ Crewmembers across the country, more than 7,000 of those are employed in DFW alone between nearly 100 Restaurants across the metroplex and the Dallas Restaurant Support Office, which accounts for more than 600 Crew. Long-known for its culture, opportunities for growth, commitment to community, and ONE LOVE® – craveable Chicken Finger meals – Cane’s hasn’t stopped there. In fact, during its Timeless Horizons conference earlier this year, the brand expanded upon its existing Crew offerings and announced The First Time Homebuyer Program, new training programs, and updated Restaurant titles across the system. Cane’s also invested more than $150M in Crew wages and increased hourly pay by $4 an hour. These investments have paid off ten-fold as Cane’s continues seeing record applicant flow and industry-leading low turnover levels.
“Everything we do at Cane’s is centered around our Crew. Each day, we make it a point to show our appreciation for them in any way we can – whether it be through holiday parties and picnics or benefits and pay that are industry-leading,” said co-CEO and COO AJ Kumaran. “Crew appreciation is at the core of what we do, and the recurring recognition from DMN is a testament to our long-standing commitment to doing right by our Crew and taking care of them both personally and professionally.”
Cane’s is one of few companies that believe restaurant-level Crew should have the same benefits as what is available to those working at the support office. Meaning, the support office and Restaurants all close their doors to allow Crewmembers to observe and enjoy holidays including Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and more.
For those looking to start their careers in the Restaurant, Cane’s encourages applications from first-time workers to tenured operators. With flexible scheduling, chances to earn additional wages through training programs and premium pay shifts, and countless opportunities for advancement, Cane’s is a great starting point for a rewarding career.
In terms of numbers year-to-date, more than 500 Crew were promoted to Restaurant Manager, more than 170 Crew were promoted to salaried Managers, and nearly 30 Restaurant Leaders were proud graduates of the Restaurant Partner Program, which enables top-performing Restaurant Leaders to become partners in the business without any financial investment. This best-in-class program includes nearly 140 Restaurant Partners and focuses on education and development, personal and financial wellness, an industry-leading support structure, and extremely competitive salary and long-term incentives.
