On this episode of the Happy Mouth podcast, restaurateur Philip Camino and chef Nyesha Arrington continue to take a look at how restaurants are recovering and, in fact, booming as the coronavirus pandemic slows down.
While broadliner Sysco has seen sales rising, several major chains announced impressive first-quarter financials; proving the hospitality industry is in a boom right now. With major players like Starbucks, McDonald’s, and Cheesecake Factory all seeing a massive uptick in sales, there’s even more hope independent restaurants are well on the road to recovery as well. But with every boom, there’s the potential for a bust.
Listen as Nyesha and Philip talk about the impact initiatives like the RRF and stimulus checks are having on the hospitality industry, and what you should be careful of as the boom continues.
