Counter Culture is about serving those who serve.
Restaurants, bars, and hotels have always been places of community — a home away from home. The people who facilitate these spaces come from every walk of life, and there is something truly incredible about the diversity and inclusivity that brings.
That being said, hospitality workers are often exceptionally underserved, which can lead to burnout or, worse, life-altering experiences that some may never fully recover from.
