HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Half Shell Oyster House raised its minimum wage for non-tipped employees from $11 dollars to $12 an hour.
Those seeing the raise are dishwashers, cooks, kitchen staff and bussers. Gulf Coast Restaurant Group marketing director Kelsey Griffin explains why they are doing this for their employees
“We’re just trying to take what we learned in 2020 and apply that adaptability to the conversation that we are having with our employees,” Griffin said. “And figure out what they want and what would parallel their needs.”
