In all my years in the restaurant/bar/hospitality industry, I have never run into the hiring situation that we are in today. I don’t have one customer in any state who has all the employees that they need. Some clients have 90 percent of the staff they need, but most are closer to 50 or 60 percent. As I have written in the past, the most important thing you can do is to hold on to the staff you have.

The greatest threat is not the labor shortage or supply chain issues, it’s not the pandemic or the price of real estate – yes, all those concerns are troubling and must be dealt with, but they are not what will bring the restaurant industry to its knees. Well then – what will? Try apathy on for size. What concerns me the most, and what should concern others is a changing attitude towards what we do, a malaise that starts to smell of giving up, of not trying that hard anymore.

Smallholder coffee farmers are responsible for between 70 and 80% of the world’s coffee supply. Despite meeting a tremendous global need, approximately 75% of them live in poverty. While coffee farmers face a number of challenges, a lack of access to finance is among the most difficult of them and an issue that exacerbates all others.

Lille Allen/Eater. With a recent line of seasonings, McCormick seems eager to compete with modern spice companies, like Burlap & Barrel and Diaspora Co. When I think about McCormick, my mind drifts to my mom’s spice cabinet, where stout, red-capped bottles have been collecting dust for decades. During visits home, my siblings and I like to fish out old bottles like bingo balls and gleefully announce their expiration dates — usually closer to our DOBs than the present day.

Some restaurants immediately thrive in a new location, while others can barely keep their heads above water. At first glance, they look equally good: the food is excellent, the staff friendly, the price right and everything well organised. But while one attracts a large crowd, the other seems to have more staff than guests. If you look under the bonnet, you will see that struggling businesses often lack a clear restaurant marketing plan.
