HFTM News

Restaurant operators across Canada are struggling to find enough staff to run their operations. This labour crisis has been highly publicized by Canadian media as a “labour shortage.”

Lang faculty Dr. Mark Holmes and Bruce McAdams from the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management recently had an article published in the Journal of Foodservice Business Research. Their article, titled "Is the foodservice industry perceived as being palatable by those looking to enter it?" examines how young people feel about the work-life balance of the industry.

Kostuch Media's annual Top 30 Under 30 recognizes the rising stars of Canada's hospitality and foodservice industry. This year's list of top young professionals featured five alumni from Lang's School of Hospitality, Food & Tourism Management.
