@eater shared this report yesterday disputing the *giant* myth that labor shortages in restaurants are caused by industry workers being “unwilling” to work and depending on unemployment instead. What our industry’s recovery needs most: better wages, better working conditions, better valuation of our work.

That’s why we’re steering industry professionals towards positions in restaurants committed to higher wages, positive work environments, benefits, diversity & inclusion — starting with Chicago on 5/10 and NYC on 5/13. Swipe for complete event deets.

We can and will write the narrative for our industry’s recovery together thats grounded in a mission-driven, people-first approach to business. It starts with us ✊

@nytimes called attention to staffing shortages in the industry this weekend, featuring RAISE Member @chefkatiebutton alongside voices from @alldaymia @craftedhospitality @chengdutaste + more 🗣

As biz owners increase capacity for spring / tourism season, @chefkatiebutton is among those who are creating an impactful recruitment experience to set staff up for success while promoting long term equity overall.
Way to go, chef!!👏

In this new stage of our industry’s recovery, there’s so much potential for raising the standard on equity. Not just wage equity, but race and gender equity as well. Together as a community... Let’s keep going 💫

This is a Mason H. @turkeyandthewolf appreciation post 🏆

We are *huge* admirers of Mason’s ferocious and innovative spirit. From throwing down award-winning sandwiches & bites @turkeyandthewolf to championing @dukes_mayonnaise — and being the one true IG caption king — his story has been incredible to follow 👑💬

Mason’s bold + fearless ethos is just as powerful in his commitment to showing up for his community — as a chef / owner and as an ally.

Thank you for being in community with us and staying engaged in the work @turkeyandthewolf ❤️🙏
