Greg Jones: Giving High School Students A World-Class Opportunity

October 14, 2021


Xplore Restaurant Group Executive Chef Drake Bielert approached his boss, owner Greg Jones, with an idea. What if we allowed our high-school-age employees to clock in (paid, of course) an hour before their scheduled shift…and fed them…and had them sit in a quiet room on their laptops…and complete their daily homework before beginning their shift? Greg, being the entrepreneur he is, embraced it and the experiment began. That was 3 weeks ago.
Then, just days ago, Greg posted this on Facebook letting the rest of us know about this world-class opportunity.
