"A Brooklyn restaurant serving a mix of Caribbean and American comfort food where staff routinely work late-night and weekend shifts—sometimes until 3 a.m.—and face extremely long and irregular hours. The scheduling realities create acute childcare challenges for employees, illustrated by a host who relied on a patchwork of family help, paid caregivers, and late-night pickups for her child with autism; the combination of overnight work and scarce nontraditional-hours care makes staffing and retention difficult for people with caregiving responsibilities." - Corey Mintz
