Sourcing. Our philosophy is to work with best-in-class suppliers across our supply chain so that we can always provide top quality, better-for-you food for our guests.
For the BurgerFi brands meat, we source currently from some of best ranches in the United States including Meyer Company Ranch, Snake
River Farms, and Springer Mountain Farms, who share in our commitment to all-natural food, with no hormones or antibiotics, that is humanely raised and source verified. In 2021, in Consumer Reports Chain
Reaction Report, BurgerFi was praised for serving no antibiotic beef across all its restaurants, and Consumer Reports awarded BurgerFi an A-Grade Angus Beef rating for the third
consecutive year. In addition, our bread is free of synthetic chemicals, our ketchup is free of corn syrup, and we use cage-free eggs. At BurgerFi, we ensure that our beef is always freshly ground at all domestic locations. In addition, we have
developed our proprietary meat alternative VegeFi burger and also utilize a 100% plant-based burger from Beyond Meat®.
At Anthonys, we are also committed to using fresh ingredients and take pride in our sourcing. We do not use freezers for any of our
products to ensure the best quality food for the customer. In addition, by sourcing locally where available, such as our fresh tomatoes and our sausage, we strive to bring the freshest ingredients so we can deliver high-quality products.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable environment that supports the growth and
success of our team members from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, races, experiences, and more. Rooted in our purpose and beliefs, we strive to become an employer of choice by providing equal opportunities for, and removing obstacles to,
success, while also fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are continually looking to enhance our culture of inclusion, and we have stepped up our efforts, as evidenced by our continuing to develop our mentorship program, which
will allow us to enhance our philosophy of partnering seasoned team members with new team members looking to build their career. As part of our continuous trainings, in particular for those in leadership positions, we include programs on topics such
as overcoming biases, conflict resolution, de-escalation, difficult conversations, and professionalism. The intention behind these trainings is to enhance our inclusive culture and allow our team members the
opportunity to fulfill their potential.
Charitable Partners. We are also dedicated to helping build supportive and caring
communities. By encouraging volunteerism and working with community organizations, such as local hunger relief organizations, as well as inviting local hometown heroes like firefighters, police officers and EMTs to enjoy a complimentary
meal in BurgerFi brand restaurant grand openings, we are partnering with our employees to support charitable services that help strengthen the communities where our employees work and live.
Food Safety. Food safety is of the utmost importance. Within our restaurants we have stringent food safety and quality protocols that
help our teams ensure they are providing a safe place to eat for our guests and team members alike. Utilizing in-house temperature and quality audits throughout the day, we strive to verify that all products
are safe and of highest quality. Additionally, we use third-party auditing systems, designed to ensure we meet or exceed local health standards. These audits are completed periodically and without notice with the goal of ensuring that our
restaurants maintain our high standards at all hours of the day. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have initiated additional protocol audits.
