FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY
The Staffing Pressure in Restaurants & Hospitality
The US restaurant and hospitality sector continues to face exceptionally high turnover and critical staffing shortages. For example, annual turnover rates in restaurants often top 75%, and in quick-service operations have exceeded 130%. Recruiting and training replacements drains thousands of dollars per role, distracts leadership, and threatens guest service consistency.
Behind these challenges lies a largely untapped workforce: individuals who, having trained and up-skilled while incarcerated, are motivated, reliable and eager for meaningful work. They bring developed skills in food service, kitchen operations, cleaning/room maintenance, customer service and hospitality-support roles — ready to join your team and help you deliver excellence.
