Shares Philadelphia-based Marquis & Co.—a Latina-led vegan restaurant group which includes popular chain HipCityVeg—is taking the lead on implementing a $15 minimum wage across its restaurants. In March, proposed legislation to increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour was dropped from the American Rescue Plan (the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus plan). Instead of waiting for the federal wage to increase, Marquis & Co. is taking action to help families recover from the life-changing events of last year, which disproportionately affected women and people of color. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, all nine Marquis & Co. restaurants, including HipCityVeg, Charlie was a sinner, and Bar Bombón, will bring worker earnings up to a minimum of $15 per hour.
HipCityVeg employees, on average, are receiving a 20% raise when the policy is enacted in July 2021. How HipCityVeg’s parent company is making $15 an hour minimum wage possible at every location The 9-unit Marquis & Co. is increasing minimum wage company-wide in July to prepare for growth and employee retention On Thursday, Philadelphia-based Marquis & Co. — parent company to fast-casual chain HipCityVeg and fine-dining restaurants Bar Bombón and Charlie Was a Sinner — announced it would implement a $15 an hour minimum wage across all nine units in July. “Despite the intense economic hardship that has hit the restaurant industry and our workers over the last year, we believe that now is the time to do this for our families,” said HipCityVeg founder and CEO Nicole Marquis in a statement. “We believe it not only is the right thing to do for our workers that have been through so much over the past year, but that it is also good for business, and it will help with recruiting and retention as our economy rebounds.”
