Let's talk about restaurant labor in San Francisco CUESA is partnering with Yelp Reservations for an in-depth conversation with our restaurant community members about labor--the human facet of sustainability-- and how it is a key factor in food business viability. Join us at Zero Zero for a 45 minute discussion followed by a Q + A and small bites. Can we have a solutions-focused discussion? Let’s have a fruitful and thoughtful conversation about what is truly on your mind while running your businesses. How are you adapting to address issues of economic sustainability while adopting progressive policies in your staff? What is working within the restaurant community to hire, retain, grow, and compensate staff and what models can be replicated elsewhere? Labor shortages, rising minimum wage, affordable nearby housing...we're facing challenges. But we are planning to steer away from an airing of grievances and instead have a peer-to-peer conversation focusing on forward-thinking, innovative solutions to the labor-related issues in our community.
