-- Chip Wade is the CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, which runs some of the best-loved restaurants in New York City.
Wade might seem like an unlikely candidate for the position, spending his career in fast casual and dining chains like Red Lobster, TGI Friday's and the aforementioned Dunkin', where he got his start in the restaurant business at 15. He is also one of just a handful of Black CEO's in this industry."I want to start with a snapshot of restaurants in our city shirt today. How are we doing?" DuBois asked.
"Asylum seekers are here, and they want to work, right? We have somewhat of a archaic system with regards to how long it takes to get them to get a work visa. But they are long, by the way, I believe it's six months," Wade said."We probably could use probably 50 to 70 more employees," Wade said. So they created an employee relief program called"Hugs." Wade said employees can donate any amount from their weekly paycheck, and an employee in need of financial assistance can apply for a grant, anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. They have raised millions for the effort.
Union Square Hospitality Group was founded by Danny Meyer in 1985, starting with the Union Square Cafe. Today, this restaurant group has garnered more than two dozen James Beard awards, and even a few Michelin stars. They serve up a myriad of cuisines across broad price points. Walking through the vast dining room at the 2-year-old Ci Siamo, you can't help but see a man totally in his element.
