Benihana® Provides Paid Time Off To Their Team Members To Receive The COVID-19 Vaccine

AVENTURA,  Benihana’s first priority is the health and safety of our guests and team members at each of our four restaurant brands: BENIHANA®, HARU SUSHI®, RA SUSHI®, and SAMURAI®. 

As the Benihana pandemic began, we expanded our world-class health and safety protocols to meet COVID-19 CDC guidelines and are continually seeking to go above and beyond those guidelines to ensure the health and safety of our team members and guests.

In accordance with our values, we are proud to offer paid time off to our team members who get a COVID-19 vaccination during 2021.  While we understand that getting vaccinated is a personal decision, we encourage our highly valued team members to get vaccinated for their safety and that of our guests. Each of our hourly team members choosing to get vaccinated will be provided with six hours of paid time off for the purpose of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, while salaried team members will be provided with time off to get vaccinated.

The health and safety of our guests and team members is paramount, and we believe in the current environment, vaccination is an important element of that goal.

The company has since expanded by purchasing the Haru and RA Sushi restaurants, which operate under those names.[11] Haru is based in New York City; RA has locations across the country, and is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, with its original four locations scattered around the greater Phoenix area. Although Benihana owns these concepts, they are independently operated and were developed autonomously. It also acquired the Samurai and Kyoto restaurants which it has incorporated into its other brands.[citation needed]

In 2004, the company issued a class of preferred stock to BFC Financial corporation to renovate its restaurants and expand. The stock diluted Aoki’s control of the chain and the family sued, citing that Benihana had no compelling need for the cash, other forms of capital were available, and that the terms of the preferred stock issued to BFC were onerous. A member of the board of directors was also a director of BFC, a company that held controlling interests in BankAtlantic, Blue Green, and Levitt Homes. However, the Delaware Court of Chancery upheld the decision
