Settlement Summary

The Cheesecake Factory, a popular restaurant chain, has agreed to pay a $1.208 million to settle a class action lawsuit accusing the company of failing to disclose wage ranges in their job postings, a violation of Washington law. The lawsuit benefits individuals who applied for job openings in Washington at The Cheesecake Factory from January 1, 2023, to March 24, 2025, where the job postings did not disclose the wage or salary range and who were not ultimately hired. Although the company has not admitted any wrongdoing, it agreed to the settlement to resolve the allegations. The settlement amount will be divided among the class members, who could potentially receive around $1,318.94 each, an amount subject to change based on the number of claimants and other factors.
