The wrenching decision to layoff thousands, w/restauranteur Danny Meyer

In late March 2020, Danny Meyer laid off 2,000 people – that's 80 percent of staff at Union Square Hospitality Group, representing 20+ restaurants across the country. It was a heartbreaking decision made with full understanding of the impacts, short-term and long-term – or as much as can possibly be known in this volatile time. Danny shares why and how he acted so quickly, the process he and his team used to make this decision, the impact of the layoff, and what comes next for his industry.
