Forty four percent of restaurant workers come from minority backgrounds and one third of our nation’s restaurant owners are minorities. Restaurants proudly employ more women and minority managers than virtually any other industry. One third of restaurant managers come from minority backgrounds and two in five restaurant managers are women. More than a quarter of all foodservice managers are foreign born.
