Destined to be a restauranteur extraordinaire
Guest: Brigitte Raye (restauranteur extraordinaire)
The statistics suck. Small independent restaurants have a survival rate that is so poor, you can’t help but wonder – how do any of them survive? Food costs are soaring, rental costs, taxes, wages are all pointing upward. How can anyone survive?
As someone who appreciates the unique dining experiences that independent boutique restaurants offer, Stuart reached out to the owner and founder of one of his favourites, Orto, which is in North Vancouver.
What makes it a favourite of Stuart's starts with the owner, who is always on the floor making sure that everyone who enters feels special. She really knows everyone’s name. So how, in a place like Vancouver, can she survive when so many don’t?
In this episode of Careers That Matter we meet the remarkable Brigitte Raye to share her lifelong passion for the food service industry and share a few insights into how to make it as an independent.
