We develop safety plans and awareness programs to tackle prevalent addiction issues in the foodservice industry.
These initiatives aim to create a healthy work environment for hospitality leaders, chefs, and all foodservice workers.
Addiction Hits Hard in Foodservice
The foodservice industry runs on high stress, irregular hours, and intense demands, making it uniquely vulnerable to substance misuse. Our approach focuses on creating healthy, supportive workplaces that prioritize wellbeing, transparency, and real solutions.
The first step in creating change is knowing what’s really going on. We work with organizations to conduct surveys and focus groups, listening to employees directly about the struggles they face.
Our team’s specialty comes from lived and living experience with addiction – a perspective that shapes what we do.
Combined with research into addiction trends in the foodservice sector, this gives us a solid foundation to build solutions that actually make sense for your workplace. Reach out to get started.
