We believe there is more to business than just money. Don’t get us wrong, we still have to pay the bills but ultimately we believe business is about people. The Golden Rule, which dates as far back as Confucius (551-479 BC), is a shinning example by which every business should base its day-to-day operations:

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”

With that goal we believe putting people first will drive success through every aspect of a business.

We believe a successful business starts by creating a positive work environment. We feel if we encourage our employees to always strive to do their very best, good things will happen. Employees will enjoy coming to work everyday because they are encouraged to have fun. Smiling is contagious and we want it to become infectious in all our locations. Customers notice and connect with our positive, fun atmosphere, causing them to become longtime patrons. Plus, they will tell their friends. Our employees are outgoing, warm people who aren’t afraid to learn. We want employees who understand that the definition of character is “what you do when no one is looking.” We recognize they are our biggest asset and they offer some of our greatest ideas. We roll up our sleeves to lead by example and we listen with an open mind. Our philosophy is based on treating everyone with respect – our employees, our customers and our community. The rewards are incalculable.

We believe in Quality. Our motto is to insist on the highest quality in our food, our service, our environment and our lives. We insist that the food we serve at Caruso’s Sandwich Company is homemade from the freshest ingredients and always up to our exacting standards. Our service is unmatched because we teach employees to treat customers as we would want to be treated. This means our customers are treated with respect, with a smile and laughing is allowed because all three actions keep customers coming back. We respect the environment and strive to maintain its quality through a policy of “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.”

We realize some of our policies are unique but we know it is never wrong to do the right thing. When change brings about independent growth, we call that “progress.” We believe in the freedom that built our nation and freedom is the goal of every human being. We embraced freedom by building our dream business and want to share the result of that freedom with our customers and those who wish to build.
