Slutty Vegan, the buzzy $100 million restaurant empire backed by Shake Shack's Danny Meyer, faces wage theft lawsuits in two states

• Three employees are filing a lawsuit against Brooklyn's Slutty Vegan restaurant.
• The workers claim the restaurant failed to pay bonuses, did not adequately compensate for overtime, and miscalculated paychecks, according to the lawsuit.
• Founder Pinky Cole is also facing a lawsuit from an employee of her Atlanta restaurant Bar Vegan over alleged wage theft.

Less than a year after Slutty Vegan opened its doors in New York City, the buzzy restaurant that attracted lines down the block is facing a federal wage theft lawsuit.
