Employee Focus
As a goal, the company is working on areas of development that will continue to help employees Earn and Learn during their time at Café Elite.
The Earn and Learn employee program is focused on the personal and professional development that employees in our industry often face. While our employees earn an hourly wage, our team members earn a healthy additional income from the generosity of our customers. Between wages, tips and manager bonus structures, our baristas are able to create their own financial goals. We believe that providing resources for our baristas to continue to learn about financial planning while simultaneously offering eligible employees growth opportunities is part of our employer responsibility.
While financial health is important, so is continual education and wellness. To meet our employees where they are in their lives, we are offering our employees access to learning resources via vendor partners.
