NKY restaurant owner gives 100% of profits to employees in December
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. (WKRC) – The latest Kentucky COVID-19 restrictions are impacting service industry workers. A local owner is giving 100% of the restaurant’s profit in December to its employees.
Four years ago, Eric Redfield opened the doors to Camporosso with one principle: “To not only look out for your own needs, but look out for the needs of others,” he said.
That message stands strong at the pizza spot in Ft. Mitchell. More than 40 employees at Camporosso are feeling the impacts of coronavirus restrictions. Blake Gehring has worked for Redfield since day one.
“They look out for their employees more than anybody I have ever worked for,” Gehring said.
Redfield understands the frustrations of Kentucky’s service industry workers. That's why everything he makes in December is going straight back to his employees.

Go is now making an extra effort to order pizza nearly every week to show her support.
