We believe that food does more than nourish: food brings people together. We think it's our responsibility to build meaningful relationships with each part of our extended family; the food we make and sell connects our staff, our guests, our producers and the environment. In this way, we "create community through food".

Staff - We strive to create a learning and rewarding workplace for our staff. Staff members are encouraged to taste everything, work on our Farms, and frequent events at 18 Reasons, our community art & food space. Food classes happen all the time. We take care of our staff: each member is eligible for employer-sponsored health insurance, a 401k retirement plan, receives a meal with their shift, and is offered a generous discount. We want staff to be able to afford life in San Francisco and build a career as part of our Bi-Rite family.

Producers -We have a deep appreciation and respect for our vendors. We don't just taste the final product-we get to know the person who grows, raises, and crafts it. By getting to know the farmer, fisherman, rancher, and artisan, we better appreciate their art, dedication and passion. As a result, we're better stewards of their hard work. Read our blog posts about some of the producers we celebrate!

Guests - We treat our customers like guests in our own home. Their passion, enthusiasm, and desire to celebrate food are a constant source of inspiration for us; we learn from them every day. Several of our staff members have started out as guests!
