Our founder tried to leave the restaurant business for fifteen years, particularly after a stint at Red Lobster where she was accused of starting a labor union and testified for friends in four successful harassment suits.

The Waiter You Stiffed Has Not Forgotten 04/02/2019

"What evil lurks in the hearts of waiters? Now you can find out. But can you stomach the results?" asks Julia Moskin of the New York Times, who mentions Stained Apron in the 2005 article. The article has been reprinted several places.
