We're excited to share we've been named to the 2023 list of Best Workplaces for Millennials by Fortune and Great Place to Work. Out of numerous organizations vying for this prestigious honor, we secured position #86! This marks the seventh time The Cheesecake Factory has been named to the list. "To be recognized on this highly competitive list goes beyond just ranking; it’s a meaningful validation of the way everyone lives our values and works to create a great workplace for one another," said our Chief People Officer, Dina Barmasse-Gray. "We’re honored to be recognized as a supportive, inclusive and caring workplace that empowers all staff and managers to thrive." To determine the list, Great Place to Work – a global authority on workplace culture – collected anonymous survey responses from nearly half a million U.S.-based millennial employees. Rankings are based on millennials' impressions of workplace factors including employee experience, work-life balance, fair pay, and opportunities for growth for all employees regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, or work status.
We're doing BIG things in South Beach, FL! The doors of the newest The Cheesecake Factory officially opened earlier this month. Ever wonder what makes an opening possible?

Kitchen Manager Thomas O. worked for another restaurant company when the Coronavirus hit. When his job was eliminated, he found another one in an industry he had no passion for. So, when he received a call from The Cheesecake Factory about an open position, it changed his life. "I was so excited when I was offered the position because The Cheesecake Factory is the best. Leaving the food business was heartbreaking and working at Cheesecake allowed me to start enjoying life again. We stayed strong throughout the Pandemic, and I believe it's because we always put our people first."
A great manager is so much more than a "supervisor" or "boss" who oversees our work. They're inspiring role models who truly care about us and strive to grow our potential, cheer on our victories and support us through tough times. We're lucky to have so many incredible managers in our company who build a strong culture and foster a sense of family in their restaurant. We congratulate our Regional Managers of the Quarter, chosen by their General Managers and field team as outstanding leaders who live our purpose, mission and values each day. From Left to Right: Allen M., Lidia M., Zack M., Keith R., Edgar A.
We’re so excited to share that The Cheesecake Factory has been named to the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list for a 10th consecutive year!

We can't wait to see what the next 10 delicious years bring.
Meet our Women's Network Group (WNG)! Since 2014, WNG has helped facilitate the professional growth of managers across our Cheesecake Factory, Grand Lux Cafe and North Italia restaurants. WNG members have described the program as a safe space to address challenges and concerns within their restaurants and the industry without judgement. Monthly learning groups and webinars allow members to collaborate on development projects and build connections with women across the company. Women are also paired with a GM or EKM mentor outside of their area who they can meet with, learn from and lean on for support. As one member shared, “Talking to my mentor and the other women in the group has really inspired me and helped me keep my passion and drive to impact as much as I possibly can every single shift.” Another said, “This group has helped me so much in my career. WNG is a forever bond, a sisterhood I have with amazing women that are in leadership that can support and mentor other women.”

Our very own Chef Ashley T. was recently named to The Shelby Report’s 2022 Women of Influence in the Food Industry list! Not only was Chef Ashley included on this prestigious list, she is the only chef to be honored! The Shelby Report is a national industry publication that’s similar to Nation’s Restaurant News. Unlike Nation’s Restaurant News, however, The Shelby Report embraces all aspects of the food service industry with a heavy emphasis on the food supply chain. Other award recipients ranged from presidents and CEOs of major corporations to senior managers and directors of hospitality IT departments, making Ashley’s recognition all the more outstanding. Congratulations, Ashley!
We're excited to share that PEOPLE Magazine has recognized The Cheesecake Factory as one of 100 Companies that Care for the second consecutive year! PEOPLE highlighted our Nourish Program in which we regularly donate excess food from our restaurants to local non-profits. In 2021 alone, we donated more than 662,000 pounds of food. We've also donated nearly $6 million dollars to Feeding America since 2008 through the sale of our designated cheesecake. This is all made possible because of our wonderful staff. We're so proud of all the good they do every day, from the memorable moments for guests, to the delicious food that reflects their passion for excellence to giving back to their local communities.
