Mélange : Do you hire persons on the autism spectrum only ? What % of your staff is a person with a disability ?
Gabi & Jules : While initially we were motivated to create employment opportunities to individuals on the spectrum , we really have expanded this to include anyone with a disability given they are the best fit for opportunity . Prior to COVID0-19 , 35 % of our employees had a disability . Unfortunately we ’ ve eliminated a few of those positions given the change in our operation ( reduced hours , no café seating inside ). I am hopeful as our business continues to evolve in this new reality we ’ ll find new opportunities for individuals with disabilities but they might just be different than the previous positions .
