Culture is a big buzzword in the restaurant industry, and especially so in the midst of a labor crisis where employee retention and recruitment is everything. How can restaurant leaders build a company culture that eases labor pressures and develops the leaders of tomorrow?

Monty Moran has an idea. The former co-CEO of Chipotle helped that company rocket to the restaurant industry’s upper echelons by creating a people-first business model. In his recent book, “Love is Free. Guac is Extra,” Monty shares the secrets to that success — and he’s following that up next month with a keynote address at CREATE: The Future of Foodservice.
