M'tucci's 4-Day Work Week
/We have some exciting news this week. M’tucci’s Restaurants announced its plans to support employee work-life balance with two innovative plans. This week we are implementing a new four-day work schedule for salaried employees and a three-year contract for all new and existing employees.
In preparation, M’tucci’s was one of 30 US-based companies to partner with 4 Day Work Week Global. Based out of New Zealand, 4 Day Work Week Global is a not-for-profit company that is launching an international trial to promote the 4-day work week.
“Our team is our family. So, it would be an understatement to say that we aren’t always looking for ways to show our appreciation for their loyalty and hard work”, said John Haas, M’tucci’s Restaurants Managing Partner. “A healthy work-life balance, job security, and career opportunities exemplify our approach to retaining our mates long term.”

Haas sites long-term staff advancement opportunities as an essential ingredient to the restaurant group’s sustained growth and success. The three-year contract enables employees to advance their career path at M’tucci’s, with limitless opportunities including the partnership track for motivated employees.
M’tucci’s Restaurants is the only restaurant in the U.S. to work with the New Zealand non-profit in this project.
“Twenty years ago, when I started working in restaurants, I thought, wouldn’t it be great if we could have 4-day work weeks, then I thought, that will never happen,” Haas said.
“"It always seemed like a pipe dream to me. I never really thought it could happen — not only in our industry — but in America," Haas said. "I think no matter what [the tests said], I would have still explored it and kept pushing on it. ... It came back pretty favorably and it wasn't going to be a big change for us, so it was a no-brainer at that point."
As you can see, the innovation at M’tucci’s doesn’t stop at the kitchen or the bar, it extends throughout everything we do. It’s why we live up to the Italian phrase, “La Dolce Vita”. Guests and team members alike experience “the sweet life” at M’tucci’s.
