À propos de ce contenu audio

 In the past 48 hours, the restaurant and bar industry shows resilient leadership shifts amid hiring surges and persistent supply challenges, with no major disruptions reported. On January 19, U.S. labor data revealed restaurants and bars drove more than half of all new jobs added in December, fueling a hiring surge that highlights economic resilience despite wage pressures squeezing margins for independents[5]. Wingstop appointed its first COO in over three years on January 15, signaling recovery from 2025 same-store sales slumps, while rapid expansion hit over 3,000 units by late 2025[1]. Del Taco, under Yadav Enterprises post-acquisition, named new leaders to boost its 1,100-plus locations, emphasizing operational excellence[1]. Restaurant365 hired Eric Cox as COO to enhance AI-driven profitability tools[1].

Emerging moves include Huddle House appointing Bob Campbell as Brand President and Shipley Do-Nuts hiring a marketing chief for digital growth[1]. Blaze Pizza launched a GLP-1 friendly Protein-zza with cauliflower crust and double chicken, adapting to high-protein consumer shifts[1]. Perry's Steakhouse announced its first Nebraska site for summer 2027[7]. No new deals, partnerships, regulatory changes, or product launches surfaced in the last 48 hours, though Starbucks schedules Q1 2026 results on January 28[3].

Compared to prior weeks, hiring momentum builds on December's job dominance, contrasting older pandemic bullwhip effects from volatile demand that linger in food supply chains[2]. Labor shortages persist in food and beverage, with misaligned expectations delaying quality and operations hires, risking safety and burnout[4]. Consumer behavior leans toward convenient, protein-focused options, but no fresh price or supply data emerged this week. Leaders like Wingstop and Del Taco respond by fortifying C-suites for growth, positioning against pizza sector woes like Pieology's recent bankruptcy[1]. Overall, stability prevails with strategic hires outpacing challenges.
