Carl Karcher Quotations

We have people working for us full-time because they were forced to retire at 65. I know that I never want to stop working, and I am glad that I can offer positions to others who feel the same way.

In other restaurants you'll see employees signing to each other, since we also hire many deaf men and women.

In addition we also hire many senior citizens.

We have developed overlays for the keys of the cash registers with the help of the Braille Institute, so that blind crew members can take orders and help our guests.

With a shrinking pool of young workers and a decreasing unemployment rate, all restaurant chains have to be more creative in their recruiting efforts.

It's no secret that I've become known for my strong political views.

I've often been asked to run for office. I have no desire to do that, I would not want my time with the family or the company restricted because of the demands of an elected position.

I am happy to donate funds to various organizations that help people in need.

We find that other employees are very enthusiastic about their fellow crew members who have disabilities-or what they previously thought of as disabilities.

The harder you work, the luckier you become.
