Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Raising Canes - “if you don’t like our 1 sauce flavor tough shit!”
Yeah, I looked at the menu and it seemed surprisingly limited, especially for a fast food chain.
Here it is:
That's their entire menu.
Culver's: We have all food ever created for sale right now on our 80-page menu. Have fun at our drive-through.
Raising Cane's: Fuck you, you have five options and all of them are chicken fingers.
I'll take small menu ordering every time. If we're all getting the same thing and the choice is quantity, it'll likely be fresh.
Yeah but it's literally one thing. Chicken fingers. They better be damn good chicken fingers. And I find that hard to imagine.
Please remember it's fast food. Are the chicken fingers amazing? No but they are good enough so that they are amazing with the sauce. Everything on the menu is just different textures for shoveling more sauce into your face.
Well you better like their sauce because, as was said above, you only get one choice there too.
Kind of feels like this classic SNL sketch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puJePACBoIo
It's a pretty good sauce. Here's the recipe as close as I can tell.
3/4 cup real mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons ketchup
5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce* (1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons)
1 Tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Pinch celery salt
It's also good on burgers, sandwiches, and fried seafood.
They are not.
Cane’s is pretty dammed good for chicken. Always freshly cooked.
Cane's is/was being smart here. One of the biggest issues that a startup restaurant can have is attempting to carry "everything." Do one or two things really really well, and have some extras that require basically no prep. This also helps reduce cleanup later.
It's not a startup at this point.
No, but when they were a startup, that was certainly a consideration. As for now, well, why change a formula that clearly works?
Aren't companies generally supposed to diversify in order to grow past a certain size? I mean obviously it worked out, but I thought that was the rule of thumb.
Diversification can be done on the back end of the business, doesn't need to be customer facing. I'm certain that the founder has a healthy stock portfolio with his net worth.
I have yet to see an example of a business diversifying and not getting worse. Find one thing you're good at and do it well. Leave other things to other businesses.
