As we approach National Food Service Worker Day on September 25, restaurant and bar owners have a unique opportunity to not just celebrate their teams, but to provide them with tangible support when life's unexpected crises hit."
"Understanding National Food Service Worker Day September 25 marks National Food Service Worker Day, a time specifically dedicated to recognizing the invaluable contributions of everyone from line cooks and servers to bartenders and dishwashers. This day isn't just about appreciation: it's about acknowledging the reality that the people who make our industry possible often need our support beyond their regular paychecks."
Every 28 minutes a food service worker reaches out for help to organizations like Giving Kitchen, illustrating widespread vulnerability among food and beverage workers.
