Forum. Many restaurateurs complain about the lack of motivation and loyalty of the candidates for a trade that seems to be discouraged job seekers by their time constraints and material, and its lack of social valuation.

The network of ” Restaurants and artisan producers of quality “, established by the College culinaire de France in 2013, has developed a special approach to tackle the problems of recruitment and retention of 2 200 members on the whole territory of the country.
Upstream, from the schools of hotel and catering, the College of culinary proposes the signing of a ” charter of seasonality “, which educates future professionals so that they will open the craft practices and a reconnection with the earth.
