A Fresh Take on Food Service feat. Shawn Taher, COO, Taher Inc.

Shawn Taher is COO of Taher Inc., a contract food service management company serving K-12 schools, senior living communities, corporate cafes, and more. In this episode of Redesigning Normal, Shawn joins podcast host Andrew Southern to discuss the pandemic’s impact on commercial food service and the company’s commitment to keeping the family business intact.

The company operates in five different industries. Shawn explains how each of these lines of business pivoted rapidly to cope with sudden drops in revenue, especially from school and office closures. For example, in the K-12 market, Taher transformed its approach to school dining by creating pre-packaged meals.

Shawn and Andrew also discuss remaining steadfast in health and safety protocols, the resiliency of Taher’s employees, why the corporate office is here to stay, and the challenging questions all companies are asking about the future of sick leave in the post-pandemic workplace.
