Restaurants have hired 1.3 million since January. The last seven months have shown job gains in this industry to include a 30% increase from June to July, but it is still shy from last year. Although some will blame the extra unemployment, it is the low wages and safety concerns that are keeping people away. The quitting rate right now is at an all time high for QSR's at 5.6%. Remember if you quit a job you are not eligible for unemployment. Many have moved to other industries that were more stable during the pandemic.

With the addition of 253,000 jobs in July, the industry has now had seven straight months of employment gains.

Bars and Restaurants in North Carolina and a few other states are struggling to get alcohol in their locations. Although some of the issues are the slow production and delivery of aluminum cans and bottles, the states that control the sale of alcohol to the establishments and acting as distributors can't keep up with the demand.

Several states are seeing beer and alcohol shortages as supply chain issues and increases in demand rock the industry.

With Covid masks and capacity restrictions being lifted, it is especially wise as a seller of alcohol to pay attention to their guests and customers. Many have just started socializing outside of the home again and may be a little more excited to indulge or have developed unhealthy relationships with alcohol that could trigger intervention.

Whatever the case may be, be mindful during this time of freedom and celebration to keep your guests or customers safe.

Please reach out for more information on how to train your staff to become more responsible with the selling and or serving of alcohol!

I had the privilege of partnering with April of to assist with an event that featured this amazing bourbon ice bar. I needed 12 bartenders for this event and her staff was perfect!

And so the journey begins, to make a difference with the responsible selling and serving of alcohol in North Carolina. First stop was a visit with Representative McGrady at the Legislature to discuss House Bill 971and offer input. After great conversation that will continue, he also suggested that I speak with Mr. Vanhecke at the ABC Commission where my ideas will begin to take shape. It was an amazing conversation with someone who shares the same passion with training and the positive impact it will have in North Carolina. I look forward to continuing my work and commitment with both entities.

Just read an interesting article about Trophy Brewing introducing their new beer. Those of you familiar with this North Carolina brewery knows that they have Trophy Wife and Trophy Husband. Trophy Partner was added recently in time for LGBT Pride Month. It is a west coast-style IPA with a citrus and piney profile. Trophy Wife, their most popular is a session IPA while the Trophy Husband is a saison.

The article led me to believe that they are doing this with good intentions and not just doing it to sell more beer like Bud light. Just saying! For more information check out .
