I came across a great article on fastcasual.com talking about optimism from restaurant employees about the current and future state of the industry. This is of course related to the 2015 industry forecast by the National Restaurant Association that we posted about a few weeks ago. The article cites an infographic from the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. Here are some of the highlights:
- 9 out of 10 restaurant employees say it’s a great industry to land your first job
- Very positive beliefs that people of all backgrounds can open a business in this industry
- 7 of 10 say the restaurant industry provides good long term opportunities
- 9 of 10 owner operators say they will work in the industry until retirement
