A look at the state of the restaurant labor market

A Deeper Dive: Brian Miller, CEO of management consulting firm Patrice & Associates, joins the podcast to talk labor in the hospitality industry and how to keep good workers.

What is the state of the labor market right now?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Brian Miller, the CEO of management recruiting firm Patrice & Associates.

Miller works with hospitality companies to recruit executives and managers. We talk a lot about the labor market, which has been resilient—surprisingly so, at least if you ask economists.

We talk about why that market has been so resilient, and what impact that could have on restaurants’ ability to hire and retain workers going forward.

Restaurants have seen improvement in the labor market this year, though it remains tight. We discuss those issues on the podcast.

We also talk about the best strategies for retaining employees. More companies have been working harder to retain their top managers and we explain why. But we also talk about the best strategies for retention. Hint: It’s not that hard.

We’re talking labor on this week’s A Deeper Dive so check it out.
