To us, ‘Work-Hard Play-Hard’ not only means we love to surround ourselves with people who work hard on shift and who also have passions outside of work. It also means that work and play can co-exist. Work should absolutely be fun.
My purpose at Max and Erma’s is to keep guests coming back! My guests are truly like family to me and I want them to feel that we will always be there! We share moments, not just good food. Another perk is I work with my best friend.
