With labor costs at unprecedented levels, rent costs higher than ever, and a seemingly never ending amount of red-tape, running a business in New York City is more challenging than ever. To help owners and operators make sense of it all, the NYS Restaurant Association has brought together a panel of experts to provide insights on many of the issues keeping restaurateurs up at night. Questions like: What are you doing to keep labor costs down? How can your local chamber help? Is there any upcoming legislation that may provide relief to small businesses? We will answer these and a host of other questions you may have during this very important discussion.
