Waffle House Saves Christmas, Again

"I love working Christmas," says Dave Rickell, executive vice president of operations. "One of the reasons is because as a child, Waffle House saved my family's holiday."

Growing up in New York, Dave did not know about Waffle House restaurants. One December his family was traveling and found themselves in Virginia. Hungry and tired, Dave and his family stopped in a Waffle House for Christmas Eve dinner. They liked it so much they came back the next morning as well. While it was his first time at Waffle House, it would not be his last. Little did he know that years later he would be a Waffle House executive responsible for the operation of 680 restaurants.

"It's because of that experience that I love working Christmas day" adds Dave. "Many come to Waffle House because it's their family tradition; however, for some we are a beacon of light during what can be a stressful time." And like all Waffle House restaurant management, Dave will be behind the counter working this Christmas and New Year's.

The 24-hour, seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year restaurant welcomes everyone for the holidays, even those who burned their dinner or missed their flight or find themselves alone away from home. "The Waffle House Saves Christmas," penned and performed by Atlanta artist Jason Phelps is now available on Waffle House TouchTunes jukeboxes in all 1,850 restaurants.
