Why is there a 7% Kitchen Support Fee on my guest check

A 7% Kitchen Support Fee is added to every dinner check at each location in our company. Unlike simply increasing menu prices, which primarily increases gratuities for front-of-house staff while also raising guests' overall dining costs, this fee allows us to simply provide direct additional compensation to our hourly kitchen team. 100% of the Kitchen Support Fee is distributed to our hourly back-of-house staff.

This approach helps reduce the longstanding wage gap between front- and back-of-house employees, complies with state regulations governing tip distribution, and supports a healthier, more sustainable workplace.

Any additional gratuity you choose to leave is entirely optional and is distributed to our front-of-house service team.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact Chef/Owner Hosea Rosenberg at hosea@lpiggy.com.
