WHO WE ARE
Bread & Butter is a Vancouver Island based peer-driven collective aimed at providing resources and tools to hospitality based business owners in B.C. for improved levels of performance, peer accountability, learning & growth, political advocacy along with guidelines for operating businesses and managing lifestyles that are meaningful and lasting.
We believe that the hospitality industry has not been working for all stakeholders for a long time and that the cracks have been blown wide open by the COVID-19 crises leaving most business owners struggling to survive and concerned about the future. We can work together to develop a better way forward with the creation of a progressive community committed to wholistic improvement as our foundation.
Together we can work to make significant change to our industry and our lives.
Our
Vision
To foster the long-term growth and sustainability of a healthy independent hospitality community that provides fair return on investment for owners, viable compensation for our valued employees, admired company cultures and community engagement.
