Moments Monday: National Food Service Employee Day
“Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service. ”
Today is National Food Service Employee Day, a day to recognize a group of people who are not recognized and thanked enough for all that they do. Waiters, hosts, chefs, bartenders, and other staff are truly the backbone of the food industry—one of the largest industries in the country.
Chain restaurants, local burger joints, and corner coffee shops and bars would be no more without the service these people provide. Not to mention, events like weddings would struggle to function without proper nourishment.
So, in honor of this day, we are highlighting our SBWS member catering and bar staffing teams. These companies go above and beyond to provide not just food and drinks but also comfort, happiness, and even entertainment to you and your guests.
Check out what makes each of these Santa Barbara organizations special, and make sure to leave an extra big tip or give a big thanks to anyone you encounter in the food service industry today.
