Salary & Benefits
As part of our ethos at Turquoise Goat, we respectfully choose to opt out of tip-dependent wage culture.

Rooted in racist policy, tipping pushes the onus of paying service staff onto the customer. This practice disproportionately disadvantages women and people of colour and unfairly compensates employees who work in non-customer-facing positions.


Instead, at Turquoise Goat we believe that all restaurant employees deserve to earn a fair wage in the city where they work, regardless of their position.


To support this, we pay every one of our team members a fair wage for Metro Vancouver, meaning that all positions at Turquoise Goat start at $21 an hour and increase based on experience.


In addition to above-standard wages, we offer extended health and dental benefits, flexible and creative professional development opportunities, meaningful raises, and management promotions from within.

Other perks include complimentary staff meals on every shift, provided uniforms, discounts for you at the cafe, and access to retai
