The Cheesecake Factory

Tiffany, a server in Seattle, has made The Cheesecake Factory a special place for one special little girl from Alaska and her family. Due to her medical needs, the family has to frequently travel between Alaska and Seattle. Cheesecake has become a crucial part of the journey because Tiffany always brings out the smiles. On one particular visit, they were sat in a different section but Tiffany stopped by for a visit with the family. As Tiffany said goodbye, the parents handed her a note: “Dear Tiffany, You, my friend, have been an angel for us through our daughter's medical journey. Not only does she pick The Cheesecake Factory for the cheese pizza, fries, pickles, and lemons, but she always picks it because of you! You're somebody she looks forward to seeing. Your kindness and thoughtful conversation have helped her through a rough patch, and you're the only reason she was willing to try eating inside a restaurant after she got into her braces and wheelchair. Today, we didn't get to sit with you, and she was so sad because of it. She even hid under her chair cushion and wouldn't talk to anyone. When you stopped by our table, and she heard your voice, she lifted her head so fast, and I got to see my favorite million-dollar smile I sometimes go days without seeing. I will forever be grateful and remember the part you played during her medical journey. We will see you again!” Thank you, Tiffany, for embodying the spirit of cheesecake and making unforgettable memories for this incredible family. Your kindness truly makes a difference. #soCheesecake #lifeatcheesecake

Our annual Commitment to Excellence Award is given to 12 awe-inspiring individuals - one from each of our restaurant workgroups. Each winner brings so much Pride, Passion & Purpose to our restaurants that we truly can't imagine being as successful without them. Meet Melissa, the Commitment To Excellence Award winner for the Server work group! Melissa’s restaurant sees many tourists and travelers but repeat guests are rare. This is one of the many things that make Melissa so special. She has regular guests that come in just to see her – they even call the restaurant first to make sure she’s there. One guest even pulled her GM aside to say that Melissa had touched their lives and wouldn’t be forgotten. “She lives every day to make us a better company and a better place for guests to have an experience that means something,” said GM Becki Jones. Director of Operations Doug Moon has said that Melissa epitomizes Maya Angelou’s famous quote, that people will never forget how you made them feel. Melissa, you are a truly remarkable person, mother, team member and friend. Thank you for all you do.

It's a celebration two decades in the making! On this day in 2004, we opened our doors in Alpharetta, GA, and what a journey it's been. To commemorate this milestone, we asked some of our amazing staff who have been with us since opening day why they love working at The Cheesecake Factory. James, our very first hire, shared, "I love Cheesecake's endless commitment to providing a positive work environment." Ricardo expressed, "I like the work culture. There are opportunities for me to demonstrate my capabilities." Bernabe said, "The food, the culture, and the people. I've worked at this location since I came to the United States. I love working with the managers and I love working for The Cheesecake Factory!" Thank you to our incredible team and to the wonderful Alpharetta community for 20 amazing years. Here's to the next 20! #workanniversary #lifeatcheesecake

Our annual Commitment to Excellence Award is given to 12 awe-inspiring individuals - one from each of our restaurant workgroups. Each winner brings so much Pride, Passion & Purpose to our restaurants that we truly can't imagine being as successful without them. Meet Luis, the Commitment To Excellence Award winner for the Steward work group! Luis’ greatest strength is his incredible ability to adapt to whatever comes his way. The mall was under construction for years, which impacted the loading dock and made receiving difficult. Luis patiently worked with the drivers to figure out the best delivery system, even if it looked different every day. During the pandemic, Luis became an expert at navigating shortages and finding alternate ways to get product. His restaurant almost never ran out of items for their guests. “He cares deeply about our product, mastering his role in food safety and making sure our guests get nothing but the best,” said his GM Jen Deyta. On top of everything, he managers to also have a positive influence on our culture – he can be found singing and dancing as he works.

16 years ago, Stephanie joined us as a Baker and it was clear from the start she was going to do big things. She was always a favorite of the staff, managers and as her career grew through Bartender - her regulars. Even as a manager, she keeps up those relationships while role modeling service mindedness to the rest of the staff and team. She has a great deal of knowledge from her years as a staff member and she has helped develop other managers on her journey. Stephanie truly loves The Cheesecake Factory and the definition of #soCheesecake. After graduating from MIT in December, we're so excited to share she is officially a Senior Manager! Big congrats to Stephanie! We're so excited to see you taking this next step. #promotion #lifeatcheesecake
