In this powerhouse episode of the SafeCheck Podcast, we sit down with Kelly Higginson, President of Restaurants Canada, for an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at how advocacy is shaping the future of foodservice in Canada. From fighting for the GST holiday to navigating tariffs and labor shortages, Kelly shares what it takes to lead an industry through its most challenging chapter yet.
We dive into the staggering impact restaurants have on the economy — 1.2 million employees, $28 billion in taxes, and 23 million guests served every day, and why it’s time Canadians see the sector for what it is: an essential economic and social force.
Kelly also gives us an exclusive preview of the 2025 RC Show, her thoughts on how operators can survive and thrive, and why getting out of the four walls is more important than ever.
Whether you're an independent operator, franchisee, or supplier, this is a must-listen conversation about resilience, advocacy, and the power of showing up.
