As a reward for their diligence and dedication during the COVID-19 crisis, general managers at UNO Pizzeria & Grill will get free airline tickets for a getaway anywhere in the continental U.S., courtesy of the Boston-based chain.

ā€œWe really wanted to acknowledge and reward our hardworking restaurant management staff for their contributions during these challenging times,ā€ said Erik Frederick, UNOā€™s CEO. ā€œFrom working around various operational issues and staffing shortages to keeping restaurants COVID-safe among the ever-changing health standards, we figured what better way to thank them but to offer them an experience-based bonus?ā€

General managers must travel by the end of December, and the company is encouraging employees to post pictures of their travels on its internal social media site. Other manager-level employees at the restaurant will receive travel vouchers and additional rewards.

Earlier this year, UNO made headlines when it announced a bilingual vaccine concierge service, which assisted eligible employees in navigating the process of booking a vaccine appointment. Within only a few days of the service operating, UNO helped 87% of its employees secure an appointment, the company says.Ā Additionally, UNO has been awarding $50 vouchers to vaccinated employees.
