For restaurants, seasonal staffing is a constant juggling act. When gearing up for patio season, holiday rushes, or summer tourism surges, operators rely on a rotating cast of temporary workers to keep the business running smoothly. High turnover is often seen as inevitable in seasonal roles. However, with the right strategy, restaurants can build a stronger, more reliable seasonal workforce and improve the guest experience in the process.

For restaurant and bar owners, getting your kitchen ready for rising temperatures isn’t just about comfort; it’s about performance, food safety, and protecting your bottom line.

An “About Us” page for a restaurant website is almost always written as an afterthought, or was created so long ago, it no longer reflects the restaurant’s personality or values. And operators who don’t have one at all are missing out on a huge opportunity to tell their restaurant’s story, connect with new customers, and distinguish themselves from other restaurants in their area.

It has been a challenging few years for coffee roasters, and there’s little sign of relief on the horizon. Green coffee prices have remained high and volatile , and so has the cost of everything else, including packaging, transport, energy, and labour. With margins and cash flow stretched thin, a machine that just roasts coffee is no longer enough; today’s roasters are increasingly demanding more from their equipment.

Knowing how to cost a dish is one of those “absolutely must-have” skill sets for restaurant owners. It’s like knowing how to make a schedule, do inventory, or cover a section of tables if a server calls out sick and you’re shorthanded. It’s just part of the job. A lot of operators still might not do it, though, either because they underestimated how important it really is, or they felt overwhelmed by the math it takes to get accurate numbers.

Brewing coffee while travelling or outdoors usually means investing in a traditional hand grinder, often requiring patience and labour to achieve the optimal grind size, especially when grinding larger doses.
