”In the restaurant industry, leaving a position for 25 cents more an hour or a closer commute isn’t uncommon. To succeed, restaurateurs should meet their staff where they search for jobs, said Dylan Gully, a partner at Rethink Restaurants, a local consultancy.”

“The Restaurant Resiliency Initiative is now in its fourth week, and provides weekly workshops and networking opportunities to owners from eight enrolled restaurants: Achilitos Taqueria, Auntie Vie’s, Cafe JuiceUp, El Barrio, Las Palmas Restaurant, Tawakal Halal Cafe, Soleil Restaurant, and Suya Joint. The program, managed by Mei Mei owner and CommonWealth Kitchen board member Irene Li, partnered with ReThink Restaurants and Toast to help provide educational and technical support.”
