FAQs

How does The Golden Mill (GM) card work?

When you arrive, you’ll check in at the host stand to open a tab with your ID and credit card. You’ll then be given your Golden Mill card which can be used at our two self-pour walls and at our 5 culinary concepts as well as our merchandise store. All you need to do is tap your card at the POS register and to order food or insert your GM card at the tap wall and pour away! Then just drop your card in the box as you head out the door. An 18% service fee is automatically included on all checks.

Why is there an 18% service charge added to my check?

Our Service Fee is an 18% surcharge added to each guest check to support the entire team behind your experience at The Golden Mill. By implementing the Service Fee, we ensure pay equity for our entire team because we are committed to providing a professional living wage for our team members. The money collected from the Service Fee is distributed amongst everyone; from our dishwashers and cooks to our beer wall ambassadors, porters, food hall attendants, and managers. The Service Fee system allows us to support our restaurant industry professionals by providing consistent, equitable pay for all team members. Merchandise is not subject to the service fee.
