What will the restaurant industry do in 2024?
This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Hudson Riehle, the senior vice president of the research and knowledge group with the National Restaurant Association.
Riehle joined the podcast to talk about the association’s annual State of the Industry Report and what it says about restaurants in the coming year.
Restaurants and bars are expected to generate $1.1 trillion in sales this year, crossing the trillion mark for the first time. We chat about how big the industry really is and how many people it employs.
And we talk extensively about labor, labor costs, labor availability and efficiency. We talk about demands for technology among operators and why it’s important to target younger generations these days.
It’s a packed podcast on A Deeper Dive, so please check it out.
