It’s a testament to team members. The series aims to highlight some of the staff’s little known, behind the scenes skills and duties, and of course, their human connections with our guests. We are proud to provide fresh industry insights at backofhouse.tv for potential hospitality career professionals. What was originally meant to be pure entertainment for our guests has evolved into an informative platform for industry recruiting.
