Adapting to Remote Work Preferences
Changing preferences in the workforce have led to an increasing demand for remote work options. Of course, we know that much of the hospitality world functions by being onsite, and serving your client. We have seen many clients successfully consider how to involve remote work in their current processes. For example, could a General Manager have the ability to do their ordering, P&L budgeting, or any administrative tasks remotely once every other week?
