How They Treat Staff
Score read updated:
Staff score
85/ 100
The existing 85/100, positive label and medium confidence are a historical staff read. This source check confirms attribution, not the score or current workplace conditions.
Score context
The Pinnacle Guide reports that Line Athens’ team has remained almost entirely intact since opening. It says staff receive about 25% above the local living wage, two meals per shift, mental-health awareness sessions and enforced breaks. The profile also describes producer visits and partnership opportunities for selected team members in the bar’s wider consulting company.
Staff sources checked:
These are practices reported in a guide profile, not verified employee accounts. The Pinnacle Guide describes a process combining bar applications and anonymous visits; this passage supplies no payroll records or living-wage benchmark. Page metadata records publication on 12 May 2026 and modification on 27 August 2026; those dates do not establish when each practice began or whether it remains current. The 7 October source review confirms the attribution, not the historical 85/100 score.
