CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS AT ZACHARY’S

Two men indoors, one with a beard and a thoughtful pose wearing a dark sweater, the other smiling in a red suit. Theyre standing close together with festive string lights and windows in the background.We have a pretty amazing crew. We’ve got folks who have been with the company since 1983 and folks who just started last week. We have stunningly fast pizza makers and exceptionally warm and welcoming hosts and servers. These amazing folks thrive in a chaotic and sometimes downright wild environment. No one, in our humble opinion, deserves a more fantastic holiday party than these truly fabulous employee owners.

We celebrated in style at the Lake Chalet in downtown Oakland. A group of seven people, mostly women, are smiling and standing close together at a social event. They are indoors, holding drinks, and dressed in casual to semi-formal attire. The background has dim lighting with festive decorations.A man and woman smiling at a holiday party.

We kicked off the month by sending two of our fantastic employee owners, Katie Leary and Tabitha King to the ESOP Association Conference in Tahoe.

Tabitha and Katie came back from the conference filled with ideas and employee-owner enthusiasm. Here are some of their highlights from the conference:

  • Being around people who were super enthusiastic about engaging their employees and fostering the ownership mindset
  • Learning more about how an ESOP can benefit the company and individual employees
  • Getting lots of ideas for fun ESOP events and ways to engage employees in what it means to be an employee owner
  • Seeing other companies’ displays of how they celebrate their employees
  • Nerding out with fellow SF bay area ESOP members like Recology
  • Playing beginner’s poker and not knowing how to bluff
  • Getting a glowing review of Zachary’s pizza from Jackson Hardware CEO and ESOP Conference president Matthew Olson
