7 | Abrusci's Fire & VIne | 20% | 2/16/2026 Understanding Our 20% Hospitality Charge At Abrusci’s Fire & Vine, we strive to create an exceptional dining experience for our guests while ensuring our team of professionals is well-compensated for their skills and dedication. As the first restaurant in Colorado to adopt a non-tipping model in June 2015, we are proud to lead the way in fostering a positive and sustainable workplace culture. Why a 20% Hospitality Charge? To support our commitment to providing a livable wage to all our employees, we implement a 20% hospitality charge on every bill. This charge helps bridge the gap between the minimum wage and a livable wage, ensuring that every member of our team, from the kitchen to the dining room, is compensated fairly for their hard work and dedication. Additionally, we chose not to raise food prices directly because we wanted to be transparent about where the additional costs are going. The hospitality charge specifically supports our commitment to providing fair compensation for our team. The Benefits of a Non-Tipping Model Employee Well-being: Paying a livable wage leads to low turnover, high retention, and long-term employment, creating a stable and happy team. Professional Culture: Treating our staff as professionals enhances morale and removes the stigmas associated with tipping. Improved Service: Happier employees mean better service quality, translating into more satisfied customers. Addressing Common Concerns We understand that this model might be new to some of our guests, and we aim to address any concerns with transparency and compassion: Service Quality: Some might worry that service will suffer without the incentive of tips. However, our experience has shown that our employees, motivated by fair wages and a positive work environment, consistently deliver exceptional service. Transparency of Charges: We display our hospitality charge policy prominently at our front door, in the waiting area, on menus, table tents, check presenters, and receipts to ensure there are no surprises. Tipping Choices: While the 20% hospitality charge is not a gratuity, it is shared equitably among our entire staff. For those who wish to leave an extra tip for extraordinary service, we have provided an additional line on the check. This is entirely optional and appreciated but never expected. A Growing Trend in the Industry Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many restaurants have adopted similar non-tipping policies or variations thereof, recognizing the benefits for both staff and customers. This model is becoming increasingly common as the industry evolves towards more sustainable and equitable practices. Your Feedback Matters At Abrusci’s Fire & Vine, we are committed to continuously improving our service. If something isn't up to par with your food, drinks, or overall experience, please let us know immediately. We value your feedback and aim to resolve any issues promptly, ensuring you leave happier than when you arrived. Our Mission Our mission is to foster a positive workplace culture that translates into a positive experience for our guests. By reimagining the restaurant industry, we are dedicated to creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining environment for everyone.

Fellow Bacon Lovers, We want to thank you for your continued support throughout the pandemic. We strive for only the best for our guests – the best service, best ingredients, and best food. We are faced with many challenging circumstances during this time, as is the case with our industry colleagues. Due to the high-quality ingredients we use and their subjectivity to market changes, we have decided to increase prices on some of our bacon favorites. This decision wasn't easy; we held out as long as possible.

34 | Bang Up the Elephant | 3.95% 3.85% 20% 3.5% | 2/23/2026 ~ a 3.95% KAP fee is added to all non-retail checks 3/25/2025 ~ a 3.95% KAP fee will be added to all non-retail checks ~ 12/21/2023 ~ a 3.85% KAP fee will be added to all non-retail checks ~ 12/13/2022 In an effort to close the pay gap between Kitchen and Service staffs, without raising menu prices, a KAP Fee (Kitchen Appreciation Program) will be added to each non-retail check. This fee helps avoid the burden of higher menu prices while continuing to provide the option to offer gratuity to the service staff. All KAP Fee proceeds are distributed to our Kitchen Staff staff. While this fee is helpful to the overall wellbeing of the restaurant’s staff, it is completely optional and we’ll graciously remove it upon request. KAP Mission: The Kitchen Appreciation Program’s aim is to provide a healthy and equitable restaurant culture that : ~ attracts better talent and fosters longer-term relationships —both of which allows further investment into education, advancement, and creativity ~ directly rewards our Kitchen Staff for their valuable contribution to the success of the restaurant ~ allows for more equitable compensation without raising menu prices ~ further instills every staff person’s relationship with quality, consistency, and timing efforts as they relate to staff and guest expectations ~ improves upon our overall culture of cooperation and mutual respect of the entire staff . We have been diligent in requesting input from our staff, patrons, and colleagues to inform this decision and feel confident that a Kap Fee is a mutually fair solution given the current realities of the restaurant industry. Below are some of the most common questions regarding this program: Why don’t we pay our Kitchen Staff staff a fair living wage? We absolutely do. The kitchen fee is not in lieu of the restaurant’s competitive above-market wage, it’s in addition to it. With the 3.5% fee, every cook and dishwasher is guaranteed an incremental bonus based on the success of the restaurant. Why should guests subsidize your labor costs? The reality is restaurant guests have always paid for labor. Sales of food and beverage are the restaurant’s only source of revenue and as such, these must cover ALL costs of operating the restaurant. And, just like food, beverage, and supplies, every cost (including labor) is getting more and more expensive. Our remedy currently is creating new thoughtful menu items to help offset costs of goods –as well as new approaches to assisting labor expenses (like KAP Fees). By doing this we can continue to offer items we all love —at a fair price without sacrificing anyone’s quality of living. What about an option to leave a tip for Kitchen Staff staff? Unfortunately (believe it or not), it’s not a legal option. According to the Department of Labor and the IRS, cooks are not “traditionally tipped employees”, and so legally, they are not allowed to share tips without the restaurant changing its entire labor structure, and thus increasing all prices by at least 15%. That’s not reasonable to our guests, and could create an even larger gap between the Service Staff’s and Kitchen Staff’s potential earnings. This seems ridiculous the way these laws are set up! We agree 100%. Fortunately, our aim is to present our passions in a great environment and by not taking advantage of anyone, guests or staff alike. We hope to encourage you to learn more about these issues as everyone’s cost of living continues to rise. In the meantime, please keep voting and writing compelling letters to our representatives. Please let us know if there are any other questions; happy to discuss this or anything restaurant related anytime!

73 | Burns Pub | 2% 1.5% ??? | 2/26/2026 The Living Wage Fee – Understanding what it is For years, dine-in restaurants have struggled with a growing problem in the form of wage inequality between front of house employees and back of house employees. While FOH tipped employees can earn over twice what BOH employees earn, that gap just keeps getting wider. And as more restaurants have adopted this practice, it has become harder to keep good staff without it. Whenever we raise menu prices to cover inflation and government-mandated Minimum Wage increases, tipped FOH employees actually receive two pay raises: one in their hourly pay and again, in their gratuities as these are based on a percentage of the price increases. Whenever menu prices increase to cover our cost increases, the gap in wages just gets wider. As owners, we are obligated to address the problem, as it is not only inequitable, but unsustainable. At the Burns, we have implemented a 2% Kitchen Living Wage Fee to our guest bills, which is far below industry average. This fee, though small, has a huge impact, as it closes most of the wage gap. We are often asked, “Why don’t you just raise your menu prices instead?” We hope this answers that question, as raising menu prices just exacerbates the problem... Menu price hikes means larger bills, larger bills means higher tips, and the gap keeps growing. Effectively, The Kitchen Living Wage Fee is just a price increase, but it is transparent in its specific purpose to close the gap between tipped and non-tipped employees. For this to work, guests should adjust their gratuity accordingly. We believe this is a fair, effective and sustainable approach. Thank you for taking your time to read this, and enjoy your dining experience with us at the Burns Pub & Restaurant. 2/17/2025 There is a 1.5% Living Wage Surcharge added to your bill.

Thanks for supporting our community! 1/28/2024 A service fee is added to all orders to help provide equitable living wages for our hard working staff. Thanks for supporting our community! 12/27/2023 *A service fee is added to all orders to help provide equitable living wages for our hard working staff. Thanks for supporting our community! 2/21/2022 *Why is there an added 20% service-fee, and how are tips split between staff? In order to pay our staff a fair and livable wage we've added a 20% service-fee that goes directly to staff. We have created the tip/fee sharing system so that there is more equity between FOH and BOH wages, as both teams deserve to be compensated similarly for their shared hard work. In an effort to be fully transparent, that fee is split as an average: City O’ City Credit card tips are shared FOH(front of house)80%| BOH(back of house) 20% Service fees are shared FOH(front of house) 40%|BOH (back of house) 50%|Select Leadership 10% Watercourse Foods Credit card tips are shared FOH(front of house)60%|BOH(back of house)40% Service fees are shared FOH(front of house)55%|BOH(Back of house)25%|select leadership 20% No position above the general manager or head chef participates in the service fee share, this includes owners. No managers participate in the credit card tip share. What’s the average wage for employees?
