Not only does Mozzeria have a brick-and-mortar storefront, food truck and catering business, it was recently selected as the first business partner of the Communication Service for the Deaf. (Mozzeria, San Francisco)

Mozzeria, a restaurant in San Francisco, is one of a few restaurants entirely owned and staffed by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. According to the National Deaf Center, only 48 percent of Americans with hearing loss are employed. Deaf-friendly workplaces are slowly growing in number, and more employers, such as Starbucks, are interested in both hiring deaf individuals and serving deaf customers.
