The Cheesecake Factory’s spot on the list means it has met strict criteria and established itself as one of the best companies to work for in the country.

“The Cheesecake Factory is honored to be included on the PEOPLE Companies that Care list for the fourth year in a row,” said David Overton, Founder, Chairman and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated. “Since opening our first restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1978, we have strived to create a very special company culture of doing the right thing and giving back to our communities. This award is a wonderful recognition of what we have created.”

One of The Cheesecake Factory’s programs that supports its local communities is the Nourish Program, where the company regularly donates excess food from its restaurants to local nonprofits. Through this program, the company donated more than 646,000 pounds of food to more than 450 local nonprofits in 2023.

And through the sale of designated cheesecakes, The Cheesecake Factory has donated more than $6.6 million since 2008 to Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization, working to end hunger through a network of partner food banks and meal programs. Additionally, through the Give Back program, sponsored by The Cheesecake Factory Oscar and Evelyn Overton Charitable Foundation, the company’s employees can volunteer their time to fundraisers and community service projects for the charities of their choice, contributing to hundreds of charities nationwide by 2023.

In 2024, The Cheesecake Factory was named one of the Fortune Named to the “100 Best Companies to Work For” for the 11th consecutive year.
