STATE OF THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY
THE PANDEMIC IMPACT
With the elimination and minimization of dine-in restaurant services, the industry has been forced to implement cost-saving and labor saving strategies, including down-sizing facilities requirements for quick-service, take-out, and delivery services. Technology has taken a front seat in digitizing restaurant operations in order to minimize staffing and associated labor costs, as well as optimize operating margins with enhanced operating and production efficiencies.
Manufacturers of commercial restaurant equipment and supplies have also been impacted with both material costs and labor shortages, also forced to re-tool and restructure to meet new demands for select growth segments of the restaurant industry.
The good news is that the restaurant industry is on the rebound, with high growth in select segments that continue to show double-digit growth through 2022. With that in mind our mission includes engaging, selecting, hiring, training, retaining and placing youth and Military Veterans and their families in compatible career opportunities throughout the hospitality industry.
