Veterans in the Industry
Nineteen percent of veterans employed in the restaurant industry hold management positions, compared to just 10 percent of non-veterans working in the restaurant industry. Similarly, 14 percent of veterans working in restaurants are in supervisor positions, compared to only eight percent of non-veterans working in the industry. Restaurant industry employers value the skills servicemen and women develop while serving this country: confidence, decisiveness and leadership. In addition to chefs, sommeliers and CEOs, the restaurant industry needs information technology experts, logistic specialists, marketing professionals, financial analysts, engineers and more.
The NRAEF is exploring opportunities to expand its job board to create a more robust hospitality industry career website for military servicemen and women and their spouses and to host virtual career fairs for veterans in partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
