Raising Cane’s, a fried-chicken restaurant with about 700 locations, is touting a new benefit amid a stubbornly tight U.S. labor market: The company is now paying closing costs for general managers purchasing their first homes.
The just-introduced benefit covers as much as $10,000 of costs. Raising Cane’s is also paying workers on a weekly basis, up from biweekly, and is raising minimum pay for hourly managers to $18 an hour from $15.
