Let's do better by service industry employees and support businesses that stand for a livable wage.
Best app out there for diners!

If you care about where and what you eat, then this is the app for you! The only one of its kind that let’s me know if the establishment treats their workers well. Reputable research shows that when workers are treated well, the food is better too!
Much needed app that helps you dine happy!

I'm so happy to see that the Restaurant Opportunities Centers released an app version of their Diners Guide! After hearing about the ROC Diners Guide on NPR last year I religiously used it when making dining choices that supported restaurant workers. After all they are the ones cooking and serving my food and I want to make sure that I ate somewhere that treats workers well enough for them to afford basic needs and get paid sick days! This app is perfect timing for flu season...no one wants to eat where workers are not able to afford to take a day off because they have the flu! Great tool for foodies and moms! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!
Much needed app

Great start on a list of restaurants and their ethical (or not so ethical) treatment towards workers. Can't wait to see more listings!
Great app

This is a great app and so useful to choose a restaurant where you know the employees are treated with respect.

i've been vegan for a decade and have always felt akward asking restaurant workers about the content of my food, not knowing/suspecting that the workers in the restaurant, especially in the back of the house, were being exploited themselves. i'm so excited to know someone is doing something about this. i'm looking forward to updates and will tell all my friends who care about "ethical" consumption.
