Navigating Mother's Day in the Restaurant Industry: Deals, Brunches, and Celebrations.

Mother's Day is one of the busiest days for the American restaurant industry, but it is also one of the most grueling for waiters and restaurant staff due to big groups, food-fussy kids and grandmas, splitting the check dramas, and coffee-cup lingerers. This year, high inflation and rising menu prices have given some restaurant-goers an extra sense of entitlement, making it particularly challenging for restaurants. However, it is also the first big holiday since 2019 that hasn't been overshadowed by the pandemic. The National Restaurant Association recommends that owners ensure that their servers are "fed and properly hydrated" and should be given a "combat-duty" bonus, especially the mothers on staff who work the shift.
