Increase Hourly Wage for Tatte Employees
Tatte front-of-house employees, such as counter staff and baristas, make only $10/hour compared to many other local coffee shop chains that pay their front-of-house staff at least $12.75 (the minimum wage in Massachusetts) and up to $15. The current hourly pay for FOH employees is not a living or fair wage, especially in these unprecedented times. We demand that Tatte, with its new CEO, raise its pay for hourly, FOH workers to meet the Massachusetts minimum wage.
Why is this important?
Tatte FOH employees do more than just take orders and food run. They are heavily trained upon being hired, so that no pastry, dessert, or retail items are out of place. While this makes for great service and knowledgeable staff, this also means that they are expected to perform more duties than the average server, yet make less than one. These high standards must be reflected in the pay that FOH receives. $10/hour is simply not a living wage, and this must change immediately. We call upon Tatte to raise the wage for FOH workers to at least match the Massachusetts minimum wage, $12.75, and to also raise the wage for BOH/non-tipped workers by $2.75.
