Staffing is a major issue in the industry right now. The last 15 months have brought about something of a reckoning within bar and restaurant employment. Career servers, bartenders and cooks aren’t lazy. They want to get back to the jobs they love. They just want to work for companies who will value their time, pay them fairly and treat them well.
Bar & Restaurant knows that. And to make the hiring process even easier, we’ve invited three top-tier employers to join us at the first-ever Employment Zone. This is an area dedicated to job seekers and the people who want to hire them. But this isn’t your average job fair. It’s an interactive area where you can meet with General Managers, Hiring Managers, and Sales Managers to talk about career options, workshop your resume, ask crucial questions and more. In addition to The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and El Dorado Cantina, 50 Eggs Hospitality Group will be on site to answer questions and take resumes. They have positions available in Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles and Washington D.C., with lots of opportunities for career advancement.
