The Repertoire Podcast Repertoire Report: Tariffs, Michelin Guide Expansion, And Reservation Platforms
This episode focuses on the very real impact tariffs are expected to have on both independent restaurants and chains across the country. Justin and Ray discuss the pros of the Michelin Guide expansion into the South, and also discuss their worries about the accessibility of this style of dining to a broader audience. Finally, the two take on the idea of platforms that sell exclusive reservation options, and the negative effects this can have on the food industry as a whole.
