OUR COMMITMENT
We strive to make The Fire Society a great place to work, which is why our kitchen is built with bay views instead of tucked back in a warehouse, like so many other commercial kitchens! We know how crazy expensive the Bay Area is and so we always endeavor to provide the most competitive wages and best benefits that we can for our employees.

Some of the many health care expenses eligible for reimbursement are health insurance premiums, doctor’s office visits, dental services, vision services, and prescription and over-the-counter medicines. For more information on the SF MRA, please click here.

Qualified mass transit expenses generally consist of bus, railway, or ferry transportation. Qualified parking expenses generally consist of parking meters, garages and lots near our place of work.
