The time has come- to serve the servers, to care for the cooks, to show-love to the chefs…  Endless Ways to Well is an attempt to evolve restaurant culture by meeting a long-standing need for wellness related activities and education in an industry that is regularly challenging to one’s overall physical and mental health. 

EW2W was designed specifically with the hospitality worker in mind, because hospitality work is particularly demanding and resources and time are often scarce.  This program is the first of its kind,  a holistic approach to encouraging & assisting staff in obtaining and maintaining the practices that will support their own health, vitality, and overall ability to perform well in their job.   As the employee begins to thrive, the ecosystem of the restaurant gets healthier, maybe even happier, and at it’s in that place where we find our most memorable hospitality experiences; store, staff & guest all co-creating a little bit of magic.

We’ve learned that restaurant culture is less a shared set of beliefs, and more a shared set of ACTIONS.   So to balance out the rock & roll lifestyle, we are now offering a variety of diverse activities (zero-cost to employee), from regular yoga classes and mindfulness meditation to intentional voyages out into wild nature, forest bathing in the mountains and cold plunges in the Atlantic.  Our number one goal with this initiative is to put the WE back in wellness.   That means this program will maintain a strong emphasis on community, in an effort to unify both the staff and some of the broader community we serve here in NYC.   

We are excited to embark on this new journey of providing  “hospitality” for those who, day in day out, provide hospitality.    On the heels of a global health crisis, there’s maybe never been a more obvious time to want to care for one’s health, and perhaps, no other industry lagging as far behind in addressing those concerns as that of our own.   With Ew2w, we believe we have created a more adaptive and ultimately, sustainable approach to existing & thriving inside restaurant culture.   Twenty years ago, the ethos was, “if you can’t stand the heat- get outta the kitchen”…  Today, with Endless Ways to Well, we’re excited to shift that slightly, to a more sustainable,  “It’s likely to get hot in here - let’s get you all the tools, have you pick-up all the practices,  that’ll allow you to thrive in the fire”.

There’s Endless Ways to get Well, please join us as we begin to explore them all!
