Restaurant Owner Surprises Employees with Disney World Trip
This is such a heartwarming story! A small business restaurant owner recently surprised her employees with a trip to Disney World!
Restaurant Owner
People reports that Jessica Travis owns a breakfast location called Toast in Hull, Massachusetts. According to CBS Boston, she opened her restaurant right before the pandemic struck.
Travis attributes the location’s endurance during such an uncertain time, to her staff. She shares that she “survived COVID because of my employees.”
Disney World Trip
To show her appreciation for their hard work and dedication, she decided to give them a trip to Disney World! This is quite generous, considering she’ll be bringing almost 30 employees and their families on the trip in May!
When Travis lost her mom, she wanted to wait to use her inheritance in a meaningful way. She had an idea to reward her staff with a trip to Universal Studios and Disney World for a week!
One of her employees shares, “She treats us like family every day that we come in — treats us like one of her own kids.” Travis feels the same way adding, “I feel like if you take care of them, they take care of you.”
She went on to say, “For the last three years, they stuck by me — dedicated themselves just to make Toast what it is today.” Travis wanted to reveal her surprise in a unique way.
Surprising Employees
She had her staff put together a puzzle that said, “Surprise we’re going to Walt Disney World.” An employee admits, “I was kind of in shock. I thought it was kind of a joke at first.”
It’s truly amazing that this small business owner is treating her employees to a week-long, all-expenses paid trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth! Even more amazing, is that their families will be joining them as well!
Travis shares that her mom would be proud. “I was waiting to do something where she could be like ‘Now that’s what I wanted [it] to be used for.'”
Her employees say, “hard work always pays off.” Travis’ kindness proves that she “really cares for us.”
A staff member sums it up perfectly stating, “I think just having a really good team behind you makes all the difference.” What an incredible story of a restaurant owner surprising her employees with a trip to Disney World!
