A Restaurant Industry Entering a New Era The restaurant industry has always adapted to change. But today’s pace of transformation is unlike anything operators have experienced before.

Read moreIf you’ve run restaurants for any length of time, you know the pattern: a restaurant manager resigns, everyone scrambles to cover the shift, you rush the search with hasty job postings, train the new hire hard for a few months, and just when they start to feel solid in the […]
Read moreHiring in the hospitality sector has never been more complex. Restaurants, hotels, resorts, casinos, stadiums, and tourism operations often need to fill roles quickly, sometimes dozens at a time, while still ensuring every hire supports their service excellence standards, company culture, and guest experience expectations. That’s where two commonly confused […]
Read moreNot long ago, staffing in hospitality felt demanding but manageable. You posted a role, called a few people, leaned on word of mouth, and usually had a shortlist before service was at risk. Now it can feel as if every schedule is built on sand: chronic vacancies, last-minute call-outs, burned-out […]
Read moreIf your restaurant, hotel, or service operation has ever lost a manager right before a busy season, you already know hospitality recruiting doesn’t behave like “normal” corporate recruiting. Your leaders are guest‑facing and schedule‑critical, so every vacancy hits service, morale, and revenue almost immediately. The employers struggling the most are […]
Read morePicture the last time a general manager, executive chef, or front office leader resigned with almost no notice. You scrambled to post the role, asked other managers to stretch their weeks, watched overtime climb, and hoped the right résumé appeared before guest scores slipped.

I had spoken with Katie a month or so before about a different opportunity that didn’t pan out. She had promised to keep her eyes and ears open for anything that came up. True to her words, Katie reached out with an opportunity and with her explanation to the company of my skill set and positive interactions, I received an offer and accepted within a week. Very much appreciated the effort she made to help.
Thank you
Chef Brandon Lewis
Frankie A. says Katie Marks made the process so much easier!The biggest problem I had prior to working with Katie was I was getting first interviews, but then I was not getting any response after that. But after working with Katie, she made the process so much easier and was a delight to work with. I am most excited about opening a new concept and having it be the benchmark for all future outlets that the company builds.
Thank you to your whole company for making this process so much easier for me.
