TGI Fridays CEO says immigration reform is one of the biggest challenges in the restaurant industry
TGI Fridays CEO Ray Blanchette told Business Insider that one of the top challenges in the restaurant industry in 2020 is the "confusing" legislative environment.
"We need immigration reform," Blanchette said in an interview on Monday at the ICR Conference in Orlando, Florida. "Think about who we serve, who our team members are, and having access to a healthy flow of talent." "150 years ago, an immigrant would come here and work in infrastructure," Blanchette continued. "Building the country was roads or railroads or skyscrapers — those were the jobs that were available to immigrants. Today ... we are the place where immigrants break the cycle of poverty for their families forever."
Blanchette said that the restaurant industry should have worked harder to push for meaningful immigration reform, as immigrants make up a sizeable portion of the industry's workers.
