"I understand Val’s Pizza, founded in late 2020 by Vallery Markel and Erin Wilson and known for Neapolitan-style pies, was an early Framebar participant and reported both strong gross sales (they estimate about $30,000; Frame’s figures show just over $33,000) and high labor costs (they say about $24,000), while clashing with Frame over tip-sharing and differing take rates for dining-room versus carryout sales; they say they made money but at the cost of not being able to run the equitable tip model they wanted." - Serena Maria Daniels
