Texas' favorite son Whataburger is taking care of its employees.
The chain just announced they will be issuing over $90 in bonuses as "thanks for their extraordinary service during the pandemic and severe winter weather across its 10-state footprint."
Ed Nelson, Whataburger CEO, said via NBC DFW:
The past year reshaped how we live, work and play, with the restaurant and hospitality industry being heavily impacted by the pandemic and this year's crippling winter storms. We are so humbled and grateful for the loyalty of our customers during this time, and we wanted to help ensure that our Family Members and their families were taken care of and thank them for continuing to go the extra mile to serve our guests with great Pride, Care and Love. Our Family Members and guests are the foundation of our success, and we are grateful for both.
The company also announced they would also be doubling 2020 401(k) matching, and giving employees Extra Mile bonuses and emergency pay.
