At 27, Ji Hye Kim quit her long-time job at a medical administration company to become a cheese monger at Zingerman's Deli in Ann Arbor, MI. Eight years later, she opened her own Korean restaurant: Miss Kim. Ji Hye is now a James Beard Award semifinalist. In 2023, her restaurant brought in $1.8 million in sales. Ji Hye passes much of that revenue on to her staff, paying them $12-$15/hour and sharing the restaurant's profits with them.
This is an installment of CNBC Make It's Millennial Money series, which profiles people across the globe and details how they earn, spend and save their money.

Spreading the tips out amongst the kitchen staff and serving staff is genius. Everyone gets paid the same. I worked in kitchens for a while and was quite annoyed at times when I heard some server made $300 while I only walked out with $90 a slaved away, gross and tired. Giving even just a quarter of that tip money to the kitchen staff would make them feel a lot more appreciated and incentivize them to stay at that job. It's not common to have a high rotating amount of cooks in kitchens because of the unfairness of it.

In my college years, I worked as a waitress, and I truly value restaurants that prioritize ensuring their waitstaff earn a living wage. This practice is recognized worldwide among affluent nations, with the United States being the sole country, to my knowledge, where customers are expected to supplement the income of waitstaff. I'm so intrigued by this concept that I might even consider flying to Michigan just to experience such a restaurant. Kudos to Miss Kim!!
@AlexWindover
@AlexWindover 26 күн бұрын
the customer is not supplementing the income for the business owner, they are paying for a service. It's higher menu prices or discretionary tipping, either way, you will pay something. When restaurants eliminate tipping and raise menu prices customers choose to eat elsewhere, it has been shown. Every country affluent or not has unique cultural customs that are hard to explain and undue.

She is an amazing business owner who isn't in it for just money. She's in it to help spread Korean culture and to help people be secured financially by giving them a very above average wage and bonuses! I myself am a deli owner and I also share the tips with my staff and give them bonuses as well. I only have hardworking people on my staff so I know it's well deserved because the restaurant industry is one of the toughest in the world. Much credit to Miss Kim and wish her a lot of success!

Good vision and work ethic of getting there. Her ideas of trying to make sure the staff sees a benefit and works hard really help both the staff & the business. My best wishes for her continued future success.

⁠​​⁠ It said that she gets paid a $70k salary and-after losing approximately $1M from 2017-2021-the company made a $100k profit in 2023. Although she owns 51%, I can only imagine any profits are staying in the business and/or paying off debt. So I think it’s safe to say she makes $70k. A full time server, according to her, makes between $22-25/hour with tips, so that’s $45k-$52k/year plus the $12k in profit sharing bonus split among the employees. So it looks like her servers make about the same as her, though she has equity. I have to say, she is getting fleeced by Zingerman. 1:57 $140k for HR, payroll services, and licensing fees (for her own company!)? And Zingerman keeps 49%? That’s crazy.

Her mindset is correct and you are simply trying to excuse toxic behavior.A bussines is a long term investment.

Yes. It is supposed to be her bussines. So she will run it untill retirement. She is not some equity firm trying to make 50% profit in 4 years. In 10/15 years she will be in the black. At that point she will be able to cash in all profits untill she decides not to close. You have to keep in mind most she opend in 2016. Most restaurants close in their first year. Then she also went through the corona crisis which hamperd her sales yet she still exists. This is reality for bussines which are not corporations.

For a business that opened in 2016, it is pretty remarkable that it is still open after so many years, knowing based on the data that most businesses (specially a restaurant) will fail within the first year, a restaurant is the hardest and most devalued type of business, a lot of effort and cost to deliver something of low cost that doesn't scale very well, very dependent on quality, one bad taste or experience may make you lose a long time customer, can't forget people won't go every day otherwise they get tired of it, very tight margins too. Keeping up a restaurant is like having an abusive relationship. Now, that 1.8 million a year, I'm not sure about it, doesn't seem very accurate, kinda inflated 10x, especially for where it is.

People nowadays don't know how to interpret things. That's why everything nowadays is considered offensive or hateful. It is easier that way.

I can totally believe 1.8 million. It's just revenue. Profit is just a few percent. at 1:52 you can see what they spend money on.

@adamo1139 Oh yeah, totally, it goes to show "ungrateful" with the owners and operators the food industry is, they are left with next to nothing. I still hung on the 1.8 million. I know some high foot traffic restaurants, some even renowned fast food places in average to bellow areas (we know the location does matter, specially for a restaurant) that probably gets to the 1-2million a year. It's hard to believe a niche restaurant (Korean, vegetarian/vegan, gourmet, higher ticket cost) can break that barrier.
