Seitan's Helper

A New Wave of Vegan Restaurants Highlights a Hunger for Change During the Pandemic | Eater NY

"In Bushwick, Seitan Rising is a 'queer and witchy' vegan bakery and cafe that is cooperatively owned and operated by its employees — the same team behind Seitan’s Helper and Pisces Rising — formed in response to poor treatment of hospitality workers elsewhere; co-owner Christina Verna says they’ve been in situations where they weren’t paid appropriately or at all and felt disposable, so Seitan Rising aims for a cruelty-free workplace, hopes to eventually eliminate tipping, and structures ownership to protect workers." - Emma Orlow
