You should know that we've transformed how we run our restaurants by paying a "Living Wage" based on a book Called "The Good Jobs Strategy". Our hospitality company - which includes Moe's BBQ in Bangor & Scarborough and Woodman's Bar & Grill in Orono - has substantially invested in our employees (to the tune of about $300k more in wages) and have created sustainable positions that pay more than just a "living wage".
