Good for Business

High rates of turnover cost time, energy, and money. The pandemic and great resignation have exacerbated existing challenges for restaurant owners and managers. SpeakEasy’s language tools and training can reduce the cost and burden of turnover by empowering restaurants to promote from within their existing workforce.

Good for Employees

Traditional ESOL classes don’t offer the kind of English restaurant employees need. SpeakEasy ESOL offers restaurant-specific English language learning tools and classes taught by certified instructors. You won’t hear terms like “corner”, “86”, or “on the fly” in your typical ESOL class. But in SpeakEasy’s classes for hospitality professionals, they’re part of the curriculum.
