Vibe Conference 2023

Following the extraordinary upheaval of the pandemic, enterprises quickly realized there is no more “business as usual.” And in no industry is that truer than foodservice and hospitality. While massive numbers of veteran workers departed -- never to return, multiple generations of employees entered (or re-entered) hospitality roles, each looking for more than just a job. Younger workers particularly require meaningful employment, equity, flexibility, and accountability from their companies. But everyone wants a competitive and livable wage plus a sustainable career path. Meet Saru Jayaraman, the founder and president of One Fair Wage, who will share her efforts, experience, and the promising results of improving wages and opportunities for restaurant team members.
