Purpose driven, Archie is about more than food. We're an inclusive supported employment workplace where disabled workers can develop skills, serve others, and build their career in hospitality.

what families are telling us
One young Archie worker’s family recently shared that before coming to Meliora, they were bracing themselves for a battle-ready to push, argue, and course-correct to make sure their son was properly included. Instead, they have been thrilled by how collaborative, thoughtful, inclusive, and positive the process has been.
