Why should consumers care about this? Why should people of means want to invest in Re:HER? “Pre-pandemic, the restaurant industry was one of the top 3 employers in the US and over 90% of the $760 billion spent in hospitality goes right back into the economy. Restaurants make up the social fabric of our communities, where we gather to restore ourselves and make memories together - losing them can be devastating to our cultural and social health. And the best way to future—proof this industry is to ensure that women hospitality entrepreneurs are empowered with equal opportunities and investment.”
FROM LA TO DC The first in an expected 20 new RE:HER Cities in the next 5 years. As Founder Mary Sue Milliken said, her voice assured and smile aspirational- “We chose DC for our beta because you have enormously talented women in hospitality here and, frankly, we want to be in the room where it happens.”
“While the industry has not been in good health for a long time, post MeToo, George Floyd, Covid-19 and unprecedented worker scarcity…now is the time to accelerate rebuilding efforts and women are rising to the occasion.” Page 41 | Food & Beverage Magazine v April Issue 2022
“NOW IS THE TIME TO ACCELERATE REBUILDING EFFORTS AND WOMEN ARE RISING TO THE OCCASION.”
