Heard grew out of a need for a platform where food service workers can access trustworthy information regarding the compensation, workplace culture, and benefits offered by establishments in New York City.

Heard is committed to fostering positive change in the food service industry. We celebrate businesses that prioritize the well-being of their employees, and create accountability among businesses that could improve worker treatment. We believe in the power of transparency to create an industry where owners, managers, waiters, line cooks, dishwashers, and customers can all thrive.
