BentoBox Presents: Hospitality Now
April 25, 2023
Three restaurants that are building the healthy, sustainable future of food today.
The food world is always talking about “the future of restaurants.” Some ideal version of our industry where the ground that has been shifting for years finally becomes stable.
But restaurants are open today. Workers are going without health insurance this week. Owners are struggling with runaway costs. Hospitality is happening as we speak, in the messy, difficult present.
BentoBox is on a mission to help restaurants succeed in their mission of hospitality — not just over the horizon, but here and now. In this series, BentoBox is proud to spotlight some of the restaurants operating healthy businesses today, changing expectations for diners and workers alike.
