Childcare is scarce for single parents working in the restaurant industry—but nonprofits could change that. According to a 2016 report from nonprofit workers’ rights organization Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United, nearly 3.5 million parents work in the restaurant industry. One million are single mothers—40% of whom live in poverty. The research found almost every parent feels that childcare-related issues interfere with shifts, promotions, or overtime work. Now new resources are trying to help: Tipping Point’s app Parent Care Exchange helps parents trade off childcare duties, while N.Y.C restaurateur Camilla Marcus is working with Vivvi Early Learning to offer employer-paid childcare for businesses in the city.
