A Chick-fil-A restaurant in Miami, Florida, is pioneering a 3-day work week and has already seen staff satisfaction, retention, and applications for new roles soar.

Since February 2022, the Miami eatery, run by operator Justin Lindsey, has divided its staff into two “pods,” each responsible for three 13- to 14-hour shifts per week across six operational days. Every month, each employee is also entitled to seven days off in a row. 18 store leaders and 20 front-line workers have opted in so far.
