Dining · 12+ locations · New York City, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Washington D.C., Cambridge (MA), Boston
Daily Provisions reads like a corner bakery-café, but it's Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group behind all twelve locations, grown without a single outside investor. Front-of-house staff start above New York's full minimum wage plus tips, with health coverage and paid time off included.
The Big Picture
Daily Provisions has grown to 12 locations across three metro areas without ever taking outside investment, unusual for a chain this size. Its labor record is mixed: real above-minimum wages and benefits sit alongside a middling Glassdoor rating and an old tip-pooling settlement from before USHG's current wage model, plus a 2024 discrimination lawsuit that was dismissed with no finding against the company. Founder Danny Meyer stepped back from day-to-day leadership in 2022, and the company now answers to Union Square Hospitality Group's own management, not to any outside investor.
