It is not just high-end dining rooms that are struggling to fill catering staff positions. New restaurants are opening at an unprecedented rate, but recent researches says that 51% of catering colleges have seen enrolments drop, in an industry which, by 2020, will need a predicted 11,000 new chefs. This lack of great chefs and the pressure to pay them higher wages is already changing the way we eat.

Catering staff NYC are opting for the short-term perks of agency work. Chefs no longer knock on a door, looking for a job, saying I’ll work for a day free. They go to an agency and wait to be called for interviews with their minimum wage.

In ambitious restaurants that serve technically complex food, as staff costs rise, so will the price of dinner.

means happy event!

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD

Do things differently, find new ways to stand out from the crowd. We all know that it’s not easy to take the first step, and this might sound cliche, but the first move is the hardest. Same when you're simply writing a blog post, you must start from something and the first paragraph is always more difficult.

All the ideas are noted down and you analyze your options. You must decide what's the reason you need a change, what will actually change in your life and what are the steps you should take to make it happen. Be prepared to voice your differences, your concerns, and your preferences. When talking, it is important to come across as self-assured and knowledgeable, so be sure to have done your research and know your facts beforehand.

Take a risk and work hard. Many people won’t take up the challenge because they are afraid of failure. Only those who are willing to take risks and to work hard at their dreams who eventually break through and succeed.

Last but not least, remind people how great they are. Single out people in your life, from the workplace to home, to remind them how great they are. So few of us take the time to acknowledge the people in our lives whom we take for granted that when someone does validate us in this way, it comes as a totally sweet surprise and is so out of the ordinary that it gets remembered. It's also a very genuine way of establishing affinity with people, and maintaining goodwill.
