Together, they dive into the pressing challenges facing restaurant employers today and the bipartisan reality that America needs both workers and work permits to sustain the hospitality industry. Jacob shares his work with the American Business Immigration Coalition and the James Beard Foundation, while Lilly spotlights the Latino Restaurant Association's involvement in the "Seat at the Table" joint movement. Together, they tackle I-9 compliance, employer responsibilities, and the biggest concerns looming over restaurant employers nationwide—a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of food, business, and immigration policy.
