Finally! A Dining Guide for Responsible Restaurants

We all enjoy eating out.

Unfortunately, the workers who cook, prepare, and serve our food suffer from poverty wages, no benefits like paid sick days, and little or no chance to move up to better positions. When the people who serve us food can’t afford to pay the rent or take a day off when they’re sick, our dining experience suffers.

The newly released ROC National Diners’ Guide 2012 provides information on the wage, benefits, and promotion practices of the 150 most popular restaurants in America. The Guide lists responsible restaurants where you can eat knowing that your server can afford to pay the rent and your cook isn’t working while sick.

Below you can download the Diners’ Guide, the Consumer Toolkit for Spreading the Word, and Tip Cards about the Diners’ Guide to hand out to restaurant owners and workers when you go out to eat.

TAKE THE ROC DINERS’ GUIDE PLEDGE!

We are asking individuals or institutions to please take the ROC DINERS’ GUIDE PLEDGE to support responsible restaurants and inform other restaurants that it matters to you how they fare in the ROC Diners’ Guide.
