What will the restaurant industry do in 2024?

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.
