Restaurant-ing through history 
My father worked for Schrafft’s after he returned to the states from the war and worked with them til shortly after Schrafft’s moved to NJ. He had high praises for the company and how the company treated their employees. Also, according to my older sister, my father didn’t like the unions of the time because he felt they destroyed the company by forcing the company to make changes. Those changes ultimately led to the end of the company.
