These five workers left restaurant jobs in the pandemic. Where are they now?
LA TimesA bar director in the restaurant business for three decades quit after a customer spat on her mask. “There won’t be one solution that works,” said Bjorn Hanson, an adjunct faculty member at New York University’s Tisch Center of Hospitality who led research last summer on the challenges of recruiting workers back into hotel and restaurant jobs. In the U.K., she said, restaurant workers are paid a “really good hourly wage,” and although you didn’t often get tips, you could make a living.. “Before the pandemic, I would have said, ‘Yes, I am fully in the hospitality industry.’” When the pandemic forced Barcito to permanently shut, Martinez had time to reflect. “It’s something that’s a little more long-term sustainable.” Everything he loved about the hospitality industry — meeting guests, helping people — has segued nicely to his retail role, he said.
