As an employer in the hospitality industry, you should consider some facts from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
- Employment in the restaurant industry is expected to reach a record 12 million workers
this year.
- It is expected that the highest growth rate in any occupation in the hospitality
industry will be food service and lodging managers.
- Hourly job occupations for the food service industry will see growth that will exceed
growth in all other industries.
- The pool of available labor for vacant hospitality jobs is lower than ever before.
In a growing market, with a shrinking labor pool, how can you select workers with
outstanding hospitality service characteristics and coach existing employees to
provide remarkable service?

businesses. It helps you identify candidates with superior customer service skills as well as train and coach existing employees to greater success.
