Raising Cane's Focuses on Culture of Recognition, Reward, and Respect to Drive Success
Raising Cane’s has built its success around a strong company culture centered on treating employees with recognition, reward, and respect. The fast-food chain, founded in 1996 by Todd Graves and Craig Silvey, emphasizes training all new hires in-store so they understand the brand's mission from day one. This approach fosters pride among staff who often take on multiple roles within their locations. JD Cummings, senior vice president of recruiting at Raising Cane’s, highlights that while many restaurants offer fried chicken products, it is the customer experience and company culture that set them apart. The chain has expanded to over 1,000 global locations across all U.S. states as well as in Kuwait, Dubai, and Mexico. Raising Cane's commitment to its employees includes a program called Cane’s Love, which empowers local leaders with budgets for creative ways to honor crewmembers' hard work. This culture has contributed to the company being named one of USA TODAY’s Top Workplaces four years in a row.
