April Business Development To Do List

RESOURCES FOR HOSPITALITY BUSINESSES DURING CORONAVIRUS

First of all we hope everyone is keeping safe during this time.

It goes without saying that Hospitality is one of the hardest hit industries with everything that is going on and it will effect every business to some extent. However the government has made a number of announcements recently regarding economic support and there are also a number of resources available to assist both hospitality business operators and employees.

The guys over at Worksmith have started a fantastic initiative called Worksmith Connect which aims to provide support and togetherness for members of the industry - they have a created a list of useful contacts, documents, resources as well as a forum to assist. https://worksmith.io/connect
