Consumers are more and more all about convenience and speed of service. Restaurants that don't offer in-home delivery on their own or through GrubHub, UberEats and others are losing market share. The Pizza industry is #1 for "dine at home" options and now Pizza Hut steps out to be the leader once again.

Some organizations are attempting to retain access to this knowledge and experience by setting up alumni networks. One of the most well-known alumni networks is YourEncore, which was set up in 2003 by Procter & Gamble and Eli Lilly to enable them to tap into the wisdom of older employees who still wanted to offer their experience without working full-time hours.

Hospitality can mean many things, but it does not have to mean expensive. It does not have to mean white tablecloths or a fancy wine list. Those things can be great, sure, but they aren’t hospitality.

Lisa Mason stood outside a Chicago restaurant at 9:15 a.m. on a recent sunny Monday, where she would continue to wait for two hours. She wasn't there for breakfast. She was there to get a $1 burrito. Mason was the first person in line at the new Chicago outpost of Dos Toros, a New York-based fast-casual taqueria opening its second location in the Windy City. By the time the doors opened at 11:30 a.m., more than 200 people stood on the sidewalk in a line that stretched across the West Jackson Boulevard bridge over the Chicago River.

I am so grateful for all that Jeannie did!
I would love the opportunity to comment, recommend and thank Jeannie Boland for her exceptional, professional and hands on approach to dealing with each one of her candidates. There is a certain expectation of the level of service and attention that a recruiter would provide to any particular candidate.
Ms. Boland exceeded any and all of my expectations with her diligence, care provided, and genuine interest in my career during the rigorous application process. Each time there was more documentation needed or delay in bureaucratic procedure, Jeannie was the one who would calm my nerves and keep me focused rather than leave things to chance. Part of the reason I was able to excel and retain the desired position is because of Ms. Boland’s constant professionalism and confidence in me. I am so thankful. I am so grateful for all that Jeannie did for me and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors.
Thank you again for everything,
Christopher B. Zorn

In early November of 2019 I began a preliminary search for new employment. As I was currently employed I’d say I was less than aggressive in this search . After a few short weeks of my resume being posted on INDEED I received an email from Mr. Tom Schmitt representing Patrice & Associates . After a great “ get to know you conversation “ Tom informed and educated me on an exciting opportunity coming soon to my area. After a second interview style phone conversation Tom put me in contact with a District Manger representing this opportunity. Shortly there after I had an offer letter which far exceeded the compensation and overall benefits package that my current employer was offering . Without Tom who was extremely professional and seemed truly interested in my situation, I fear I would have never heard of this great opportunity let alone got a foot in the door . Thank You Tom and Patrice & Associates . Warmest Regards, Dan Without Tom, I would not have heard of this amazing opportunity!!
Without Tom, I would not have heard of this amazing opportunity!!
