In a proposed collective action filed in New York, eight named plaintiffs claim, quite frankly, that defendants We Are All Frank, Inc.—which does business as Frank Restaurant, Kitchen Table, Inc., which in turn does business as New York City eatery Frank Restaurant—and its owner (you’ll never guess what his first name is) did not pay them mandatory minimum and overtime wages.

The plaintiffs, who worked or currently work for the defendants as cooks, dishwashers and delivery personnel, among other roles, claim they were never paid at the time-and-a-half hourly overtime rate despite regularly working upward of 40 hours every week. The 19-page complaint alleges violations of both the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and New York Labor Law (NYLL).
