We don t feel it s our place to tell people what to do with their bodies, so we ve decided to make it highly recommended and financially beneficial to them, but we stopped short of mandating it, he said.
The company he cofounded, Knead Hospitality and Design, owns and operates six restaurants in Washington, D.C., and Maryland. Restaurant workers tend to be young, Berry said, and most don t have health insurance, even though it s offered to them.
