Everyone's favorite sale: Fired Up!

 

What's happening hot stuff?

Movie still from John Hughes 1980s classic, Sixteen Candles.

As we try to go about out daily business, we have to acknowledge the heightened attention given to the Asian community this past year, and think about conversations that we ought to be having. Why are we still concentrating on peoples' foreign characteristics instead of human characteristics?  Long Duk Dong, from the movie Sixteen Candles, continues to leave an impression on its viewers. Whether you thought it was funny at the time, or if it gave you great pains to see, we still need to question why this sort of representation still happens— and what we can do to stop it. "It's like every bad stereotype possible, loaded into one character." The actor Gedde Watanabe, who played the character is interviewed about his role.

Service Charge for all orders.

Rainbow is charging a 20% service charge on all orders to support fair and predictable wages for all staff, and to offset the costs related to the pandemic. Across the board, restaurants have had to change their way of business during this past year. For us, that meant reducing hours of work for our employees, deploying new infrastructure, and building a new website for easier online ordering. We want to be able to provide fair and predictable wages for our staff in this time of uncertainty. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 177.23, subdivision 9, this charge is not a gratuity for employee service. Did you know that in 43 states, the tipped minimum wage is lower than the minimum wage—and can be as low as $2.13 per hour? We encourage you to discover the origins of tipping and how it affects our societal well-being as whole. CNBC Link: Why Tipping Is An American Custom.
