Gjelina Group

The Gjelina Group Mission is to consistently create a thoughtfully nuanced experience throughout a variety of hospitality offerings.

Starting in 2016, all Gjelina Group restaurants initiated automatic inclusion of a Mandatory Service Charge for patrons. The MSC component of your earnings forms part of your regular rate of pay and is used in calculating sick and overtime pay.

We believe all hourly employees are integral parts of the chain of service and contribute to each guest’s experience. By adding a MSC to all checks and distributing it amongst all employees, we are able to reach those team members that California State Law has historically ignored when it comes to tip pooling. We’re guided by an unequivocal respect of our team’s personal boundaries, understanding that a guest’s subjective experience should not be a barrier to a regular income. This, combined with the historical roots of tipping, have led us to define the pay system that we have today.

We ask all of our team members to participate in knowledgeable and respectful communication with guests and each other, coming to work with a desire to learn and work together.

Each position in our team requires teamwork, a flexible schedule, an ability to stay calm within a busy environment, and the ability to multitask and stay organized.
