    "Roundtable" ft. The WBRB Team

    On this week's episode of We'll be Right Back, the gang gets together! Elizabeth, Barrie, and Greg have a "roundtable" discussion about the various strategies and changes they've seen in the hospitality industry and their own businesses, ethics discussions within the industry and in our society at large, and what the future may hold. We will also be going on a 2 week hiatus. Thank you so much for the support so far, we can't wait to get the next "stage" of the show underway. See you all again soon!
    A quick note for the episode: We discussed the recent changes to bars/restaurants in New Orleans and forgot to mention that bars capacity has also been reduced. For more information on these changes, head over to https://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/2591
