Many factors must be considered when running a successful restaurant business. The quality of the food, the location, and the atmosphere are important – but perhaps most important of all are the employees. A happy, comfortable staff means happy, comfortable customers.

When staff feel secure, they’re more likely to do a good job. Patrons pick up on that. Illegal Pete’s boasts low turnover, and has many loyal staff members who have been there since the beginning.

With increasing minimum wages becoming a reality, Illegal Pete’s is already ahead of the game.
