Our Priorities and Practices

• We place emphasis on packaging, making sure our take-out containers are all made of recycled materials.
• We use Xpressnap Dispensers, which are made of 100% recycled paper and a dispenser that encourages customers to take fewer napkins.
• We’ve also eliminated plastic straws and stirrers.
• We switched to cage-free shell eggs and cage-free liquid eggs, which helps reduce antibiotic use in farm animals.
• We purchase from suppliers who practice safe labor laws and never exploit or harm their employees by providing a safe work environment and do not employ slave labor.
• We have a 100% ban on trans-fat.
