Industry Night: Can Restaurants Put People First? Jon Murray of Noko Hospitality Thinks So
come to Industry Night with Nycci Nellis, where we go deep with the people shaping hospitality right now.
This episode comes at a moment when the industry is taking a hard look at itself. From conversations around René Redzepi and Noma to Pete Wells examining the brigade system, the question is clear: what does the future of restaurant culture look like?
My guest, Jon Murray of Noko Hospitality, is building a real answer.
Behind Noko and Kase x Noko, Jon is redefining hospitality with a people-first model—four-day workweeks, healthcare, therapy, and real work-life balance. He calls it, People Over Profits.
This is a conversation about leadership, culture, and what it takes to build restaurants that actually work for the people inside them.
Also, just don’t be a …. Jerk.
