Episode 226: REEF Technology Is Delivering Structural Change To The Industry

The times they are a-changin’ in the restaurant world as changes in consumer preferences and advances in technology are drastically altering business models and restaurant operations. We sit down with one of the leading drivers of change in our industry, REEF Technology, and their head of communications Mason Harrison, to understand the changing environment and how REEF looks at their role in that process. And labor shortage?...what labor shortage? Last weekend, Amazon hosted a 24 hour virtual job fair and over a million potential applicants participated, over half of them in the United States. We’ll take a look at why some entry-level employers have all the help they need. And we’ll give an update on this week’s unionization campaigns with key developments in both the Starbucks campaign in Buffalo and the Darwin’s effort in Boston. We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
