On May 13, 2019: Did you know that 60% of U.S. women will work in the restaurant industry at some point in their lives? Historically, restaurants can be challenging workplaces for women - with low pay that relies on tips, problems with sexual harassment, and a lack of access to capital for women trying to start their own businesses. Host Joseph Pace sits down with two women who are working to resolve these issues and create profitable careers for women in the restaurant industry.
