Colleen Stepanian Photography The Marquis & Co. restaurant group — owners of vegan restaurants HipCityVeg, Bar Bombón, and Charlie Was a Sinner — announced today that it will be instituting a $15 dollar minimum wage for all employees across its nine restaurants. The change will take place in July of this year and will ensure that both hourly and tipped workers will make at minimum $15 an hour. “This is going to affect 75 percent of our Philadelphia workforce,” founder Nicole Marquis says. In Pennsylvania, the minimum wage is currently $7.25. In D.C., where there are two HipCityVeg locations, the minimum wage is already $15. “Our [tipped] servers and bartenders make well above $15 an hour already, but our food runners, our bussers, our barbacks may not.”
