Barra santos is committed to creating a workplace where the delineation between FOH and BOH is blurred, earnings are more equitable, and careers progress with increased earnings along with increased responsibility. It is our goal to provide a path that can begin at any position, advance into management, and eventually into ownership.  

Although the cultural construct of tipping culture is still prevalent, we believe the practice is outdated.  We firmly believe that the future of restaurants will reflect the international model, where staff is not reliant on gratuities from guests, and earnings are more stable.  The service charge model is the first step in this process, and we hope to lead the way as progressive operators.
