What will it take to get the next generation to see foodservice as more than just flipping burgers or waiting tables? In this episode of “Your Bridge to Local,” host Mindy Kopacz is joined by industry veterans as they share what they’ve learned from working closely with young professionals, and how they’re rewriting the leadership and training playbook to meet this new workforce where they are. Mindy’s joined by Erik Baylis of Baylis Hospitality, Mike Schwartz with IFMA The Food Away from Home Association, and Megan Teates with Affinity Group. From rethinking expectations to investing your time in education, motivation, and mentorship, the conversation dives into how we can reshape the perception of foodservice into a dynamic, fulfilling career path. Plus, a surprising lesson from a conversation with the former Netflix owner reveals the power of listening to the youngest voices in your organization and how that mindset might just be the key to unlocking your team’s potential.
