Do you have a ground-breaking idea on how to build a better, more equitable restaurant industry? A first-of-its-kind initiative, the Solution Sprint is a one-day, crowdsourced event designed to drive resources, expertise, and attention to solving community-identified challenges in the restaurant and hospitality industry. Inspired by the collective problem solving in the tech and design fields, the Solution Sprint uses a hackathon approach. Teams will be developed in advance, and each team will work on a pre-selected project. The Solution Sprint is the first initiative from Women in Hospitality United (@womeninhospitalityunited), born of the #MeToo movement and the belief that there is an urgent need for evolution in the hospitality industry. WiHU co-founder Elizabeth Meltz (@elizabethmeltz), joins us in-studio to talk about the state-of-the-industry and the WiHU Solution Sprint. For more information, visit WomenInHospilalityUnited.org. Application deadline is August 24th, and selected projects will be announced on September 10th.
