- The South O Sandwich Company partnered with the Stephen Center homeless shelter in South Omaha to help individuals reenter the workforce through training and employment opportunities for guests completing their programs.

- Employee James Sova, who needed assistance after his father entered care, said the South O Sandwich Company offers "a chance for people to rebuild their lives" with unique sandwiches like the Pepper BLT and Peach of Mind.
- Following a summer operating as a pop-up downtown, the restaurant established a permanent home within 'The Daily' on 120th and Center, providing a stable base for ongoing training initiatives.
- Bartholomew said "within a year's time, the proof of concept is in place where this now can become a local, Omaha concept that translates just about anywhere," positioning the model for broader expansion.
