BRIGETTE: CHICKEN FINGERS, TEXAS
TOAST.
TWO STAPLES OF RAISING CANES.
OH -- IT OPENED ITS FIRST
LOCATION A YEAR AGO AND THE
UNIVERSITY AREA.
I HAVE A REGIONAL MARKETING
MANAGER FOR RAISING CAIN WITH US
HERE IN THE STUDIO.
I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH RAISING
CANES AND WILL NOT LIE TO YOU.
I WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE IN
LINE MULTIPLE DAYS WHEN YOU
OPENED A YEAR AGO.
THE CHICKEN IS SUPER YUMMY.
FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT GONE TO
THE UNIVERSITY AREA, CAN YOU
GIVE US THE BACKGROUND TO THE
STORE?
WE HAVE BEEN
AROUND FOR ABOUT
A YEAR AT THE UNIVERSITY
LOCATION.
RAISING CANES HAS BEEN A AROUND
SINCE THE 1990'S AND IT STARTED
IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA.
WE ARE BEST KNOWN FOR OUR
CHICKEN.
WE MARINADE THEM
FOR 24 HOURS.
WE DROPPED THEM IN THE FRYER
WHEN YOU WALK IN THE DOOR SO
THEY ARE HOT AND RUSH WHEN YOU
GET THEM.
WE HAVE GARLIC TOAST WITH GARLIC
BUTTER.
BRIGETTE: YOU HAVE TO TELL ME
ABOUT THE SAUCE.
IT IS SO ADDICTING.
THE CANES SAUCE IS A SECRET
RECIPE.
WE MAKE IT IN THE RESTAURANT
EVERY DAY SO ONLY THE MANAGERS
HAVE THE RECIPE FOR THAT.
BRIGETTE: PRETTY MUCH --DO YOU
KNOW?
I DO KNOW.
BRIGETTE: I WILL TRY AND GET IT
FROM YOU LATER.
TALKING ABOUT TWO LOCATIONS
OPENING.
YOU ARE EXPANDING.
WHERE ARE THE NEW LOCATIONS
GOING TO BE?
HAWAII HAS BEEN AWESOME TO
US
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
SUPPORT.
WE ARE OPENING IN THAT TOWN
CENTER AND ALSO IN THE TOWN
CENTER AT MILILANI.
BRIGETTE: THAT MEANS YOU NEED
NEW WORKERS.
EXACTLY.
WE ARE SUPER BUSY AND WE WANT TO
GET OUR FOOD OUT HOT AND FRESH
AND WE ALSO WENT TO MAKE SURE
THAT OUR DINING ROOM IS NICE AND
CLEAN.
THAT MEANS THAT WE ARE LOOKING
TO HIRE ABOUT 95 PEOPLE FOR
MILILANI AND 94TH FOR THE OTHER
LOCATION.
-- AND 80 FOR THE OTHER
LOCATION.
BRIGETTE: HOW CAN PEOPLE
APPLIED?
-- APPLY?
WE WILL HAVE THE WEBSITE DOWN
BELOW SO PEOPLE CAN APPLY
ONLINE.
WE ALSO ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT
OF OPEN HOUSES FOR HIRING COMING
UP AND WE WILL HAVE THE DETAILS
ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
BRIGETTE: ANY CRITERIA FOR
GETTING HIRED?
THERE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS
--
IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO WORK IN
THE KITCHEN OR IF YOU ARE
LOOKING TO ADVANCE INTO
MANAGEMENT POSITIONS, WE HAVE
THAT AS WELL.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR ALL DIFFERENT
KINDS OF PEOPLE.
IF YOU ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL, THIS
IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
WE WILL BE MEETING WITH KAISER
TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OPPORTUNITIES.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUILD INTO
A MANAGEMENT CAREER, RAISING
CANES IS A GREAT PLACE TO DO
THAT.
BRIGETTE: HOW SO?
OUR MANAGERS GET
A GREAT
COMPENSATION PACKAGE AND BONUS
PACKAGE.
WE ARE HUGE ADVOCATES FOR OUR
MANAGERS BEING ABLE TO OWN THEIR
OWN HOMES.
THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE A
LOT OF IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY,
ESPECIALLY THE QUICK SERVE PART
OF THE INDUSTRY.
IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT
IF YOU CAN GET THE GREAT JOB TO
START OFF WITH EVEN IF YOU START
AT THE COUNTER.
WORKING UP IS GREAT.
