Why does the appearance of your restaurant linen matter so much? Imagine for a moment you’re interviewing a potential host or waiter – one of the faces of your establishment. He shows up to the interview wearing a purple corduroy suit that’s two sizes too big for him, red dress shoes, and a lime green checkered tie with an old stain on it. Is your first impression, “Hire that guy right now”? Probably not. He may be the most qualified person for the job, but his first impression has robbed him of any chance to prove to you that he’s got what it takes to impress your guests.

No one has been immune to the pandemic – literally or figuratively. As our world attempts to return to something resembling ‘normal,’ organizations everywhere are performing Olympic-level gymnastic moves to keep up with ever-changing sanitation and safety standards in order to remain open. With months of shutdowns, reduced occupancy capacities, and increased sanitation protocols, leaders have been tasked with keeping their businesses up to standard and their bank accounts full enough to pay the bills.
