"I just don't think it should be all about the money. It should be about the relationships that we build, and I feel like, for the most part, all of my people love working for this restaurant. They believe in it, and they all have that accountability where they feel like it's part of them, and that's what I wanted to instill, and, you know, this is just a thank you gesture," Jonathan Ham, the owner of Ramen House Louisville, told ABC News.
