The nature of the business is Accommodation and food services. There will be between 50 and 99 employees and more than 50 employees will work within a 75-mile radius of the restaurant.

We do have a pension plan and we offer our employees a health benefits plan.
The restaurant currently has a federally assisted contract valued over $100,000. The nature of the contract is Federal services. The contract does not have any specified clauses.
