The experiential restaurant chain has nearly 250 locations in the U.S. and Canada and celebrates its 10th year on the Best Companies to Work For list.
  • The company introduced a Wages Now program, which helps employees who might be facing financial pressure receive 50% of their pay the following workday instead of waiting for their biweekly check.
  • The Cheesecake Factory has maintained flat health care premiums on vision, dental, and medical plans for its employees since 2021 to counter rising costs.
  • The company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative focuses on ways in which managers can better connect with staff, and its upcoming initiatives will take a look at the effects of exclusion and the importance of psychological safety.
  • After reaching milestone service anniversaries, Cheesecake Factory staff can choose from a wide range of rewards, from gift cards to monetary awards.
  • “This is a company that I have been part of at every level for over 20 years. I have seen a lot happen in the world over the past 20 years, and what still makes me a believer to this day about the Cheesecake Factory is the unshakable commitment to take care of the staff, no matter what, who, or where,” said one longtime employee.
