We'll be Right Back: The Future of Hospitality

On this week's episode of We'll be Right Back, the gang gets together! Elizabeth, Barrie, and Greg have a "roundtable" discussion about the various strategies and changes they've seen in the hospitality industry and their own businesses, ethics discussions within the industry and in our society at large, and what the future may hold. We will also be going on a 2 week hiatus. Thank you so much for the support so far, we can't wait to get the next "stage" of the show underway. See you all again soon! A quick note for the episode: We discussed the recent changes to bars/restaurants in New Orleans and forgot to mention that bars capacity has also been reduced. For more information on these changes, head over to https://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/2591 Every episode we like to mention an amazing group or individual contributing to the relief effort. Today, we’d like to highlight and encourage you all to check out the Made in New Orleans Foundation (MiNO). MiNO envisions a New Orleans hospitality industry that leads the world in growing, supporting, and financing the success of people of color.
