Although What’s On Tap represents the entirety of the hospitality industry, our first few episodes featured owners, who provided their unique perspective on how the COVID-19 pandemic affected them. But what about their employees? They make up a far larger portion of the bar and restaurant industry population, and they are the lifeblood of every establishment. On this episode, we get to hear from three Chicago industry veterans on the employee side (Brittany Lee, Jon Hewak, and Milan Milanovich) who share their experiences navigating the pandemic. We touch on everything from unemployment, to concerns about reopening, to the difficult career choices they are being confronted with. And that part in the show intro about having a drink or two? Well, we had a couple this time and the result was a conversation that was raw and unfiltered. Cheers!
