Defined Contribution Plan
Team members who have completed 90 days of continuous employment and are 21 years or older are eligible to participate in a defined contribution savings plan maintained by Shake Shack. The plan is funded by participant and employer contributions. Employer contributions, made at the Company's discretion, are paid directly to the third-party trustee and match a portion of certain participants' contributions. The Company matches 100% of certain participants' contributions for the first 3% of eligible compensation contributed and 50% of contributions made in excess of 3% of eligible compensation up to 5% of eligible compensation. Employer contributions totaled $2,497, $2,319 and $1,888, respectively, for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023.
