The Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub is headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, and has earned a strong reputation as a friendly, comfortable place to gather and enjoy great food and great drink at a terrific price. With the establishment of the Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub in 1952, founder Charlie Doe created an entirely new niche in the New England hospitality industry – the casual restaurant – long before the appearance of others. The Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub continues to prosper and grow. The Ninety Nine updates and refines its menu on an ongoing basis to provide guests with fresh new options, yet continues to offer great food and great drink at a terrific price. This philosophy began when the company was founded, and is still maintained today. The culture at the Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub was instilled by Charlie Doe long before a mission statement was ever written down on paper. But the proclamation means that guests, team members, community and stakeholders are treated with respect. For guests, it means they have a friendly, comfortable place to gather and enjoy great food and great drink at a terrific price. The Ninety Nine is proud to serve more than 20 million customers a year in over 105 restaurants throughout the Northeast. For team members it translates into accommodating work schedules, generous benefits, including 401(k) plans and health, life and dental insurance (for hourly and part-time team members as well); and plentiful rewards for top performers.
