Signs Restaurant is a revolutionary eatery that was conceived with the notion of creating more jobs for deaf individuals. A similar concept to O.Noir, a restaurant that invites its guests to dine in the dark and employs legally blind waiters, Signs Restaurant ensures that it is giving back to the community in more ways than one.
Founded by Anjan Manikumar, Signs Restaurant is set to open up in Toronto, Canada, in the upcoming week. According to BlogTO, "He was inspired to create the restaurant after learning a few signs to communicate with a regular customer at a Boston Pizza he previously managed in Markham." The menu will feature a blend of Canadian and international food.
