After being furloughed from his previous job, John joined Max and Benny's in August 2022 as a table busser. He approached his new role with a positive attitude, earning praise from his employment coach, Drew Philips. "Being furloughed from his job was tough, but John has a fantastic attitude and was so resilient when he started at Max and Benny's. He always comes to work with a smile on his face," Drew shared.

​

John's persistence and resilience did not go unnoticed. Initially, he was scheduled for just two days a week, with three hours per shift. However, his hard work paid off, and his dedication was rewarded. Now John works four days a week, totaling 19 hours, which includes a busy weekend shift.

 

The President of Max and Benny's, Ben Schlan, shared, "John is a great asset to the team and is loved by the staff."

​

Working at Max and Benny's has become a source of joy and fulfillment for John. Alice Archabal, John's mom, summed it up beautifully, saying, "John has loved his experience working at Max and Benny's. He loves working with the entire staff and serving the customers. He is proud of the contributions he is making to ensure a great customer experience."
