Elephants Deli New Point of Sale System Reduces Food Waste

Since 1979, Elephants Deli has demonstrated a commitment to sustainability, by supporting local farmers, composting and using sustainable transportation. Now they’re tackling food waste.

Their InfoGenesis Point of Sale system

tracks which foods are selling, and which

are donated or end up in the compost. This allows Elephants to take proactive steps to

adjust the types and quantities of food they serve to reduce loss.

Staff learned how to use the new system after just a 20-minute training, making it a win in terms of replicable and time

efficient adjustment to business practices.

Store managers now track items based on popularity and modify food orders based on location, season, and day of the week.

and manage food waste is naturally aligned with Elephants’ legacy of sustainable practices.

of food between August and December

FROM THE CEO Introducing the Oregon Tourism Leadership Academy

T

he power of tourism has always been in our people and it’s time to make a stronger investment in our industry’s most important asset. The regon Restaurant & Lodging Association is pleased to announce the creation of the first e er Oregon Tourism Leadership Academy in partnership with Travel Oregon and Oregon’s Destination Marketing Organizations. All of us here at ORLA are excited about what the academy will mean for professional development in our state’s growing tourism industry. Each year, our program will have the opportunity to elevate our industry’s performance by investing time in our key people operating in leadership positions around the state.

As a past Chamber of Commerce CEO, I have had the opportunity to see firsthan the diffe ence leadership programs can make in the lives of business professionals. We are taking lessons learned from our friends in Colorado who launched the Colorado Tourism Leadership Journey a few years ago and coupling their success with that of regional business leadership programs to create a winning program for the industry.

The academ , which will officially launch Spring of 2020 will be the second program of its kind in the country behind our colleagues in Colorado.

Every year, the program will graduate 20 public/private sector tourism professionals after they embrace four multi-day experiences in Oregon’s various tourism regions. Th first- ear class experiences will feature Central and Southern Oregon as well as the Willamette Valley and Oregon’s north coast.

The second year will feature Greater Portland, the Columbia Gorge, Eastern Oregon, and Oregon’s mid coast.

In today’s world there is an intangible power in pulling together people from diffe ent walks of life and challenging them to rise and embrace their full potential. In a recent Travel Portland Awards Luncheon, keynote speaker Kim Malek, co-founder and CEO of incredibly impressive Salt & Straw shared with hundreds that 35 percent of our country’s adult population over the age of 45 is chronically lonely. This segment of our population is now close to totaling 48 million people.

It occurred to us at ORLA that the onset of digital connectivity has left something lacking in the way we connect to our industry. Th impacts of decreased in-person time in exchange for more social time digitally is leaving a hole for Americans in general.

Our friends at the Colorado Tourism Leadership Journey were recently kind

enough to invite ORLA’s Director of Business Development Marla McColly and I out to Grand Junction to experience their tourism academy class and the interactions within it. In additional to dynamic panel discussions on hot topic issues and class exercises designed around teamwork and problem solving, we noticed the most meaningful value of the program being the genuine connectivity of those in the class.

Programs like ORLA’s new Tourism Academy will not just elevate our industry professionals year in and year out, it will also allow us the opportunity to do a small part in keeping our people in our corner of the world better connected with one another. As we continue developing the academy curriculum, we will make sure to be led by this fundamental truth – nothing can replace the power of connecting with a fellow human being.

We invite you to learn more about the Oregon Tourism Leadership Academy including our program framework and upcoming timelines by visiting OregonRLA.org/OTLA  JASON BRANDT, PRESIDENT & CEO, ORLA

LOTTERY RETAILER NOTES From Sports Betting to PERS Relief, Legislature Eyes Lottery

A

s this article is being written, several key issues have come up regarding the Oregon Lottery that may impact lottery retailers.

Sports Betting

On May 3, the Oregon Lottery Commission voted 5-0 to move forward on pursuing a contract with a European company to bring sports betting to the Oregon Lottery’s mobile app. The regon Lottery hopes to have sports betting rolled out by the start of the 2019 NFL season.

Sports betting will start with the NFL and likely move into other professional sports. A spokesman for the Lottery says they are focused on doing betting through their mobile app, which will have safeguards put in place. At this point, they don’t know what the app will look like or what it will be called.

The same spokesman also said as of right n w, college sports won’t be included and it will stay strictly with professional sports, but he did add, “never say never.”

Mobile Gaming

On May 9, Senator Chuck Riley, Chair of the Senate Committee on Business and General Government, introduced an amendment to HB 3389. The bill, which would all w the winners of large multistate lottery games such as Mega Millions and Powerball to accept their winnings anonymously or have them paid into a trust that would not identify them, passed the House in late April 55 to two in favor and seemed to be on its way to passing in the Senate.

Senator Riley’s amendment, however, would significantly alter the bill by prohibiting lottery gaming on personal electronic devices or

through the internet effecti ely killing any chances for the Oregon Lottery to offer gaming on mobile phones or other devices Senator Riley introduced the amendment to address two issues: first, h ’s concerned the Oregon Lottery hasn’t figu ed out how to prevent underage gamblers from accessing lottery games online or on their parents’ phones; second, Senator Riley is a proponent of legislative oversight of the executive branch and when told by Oregon Lottery officials the agency could ve forward with online and mobile games without the Legislature’s approval, he disagreed and introduced the amendment.

Lottery Funds to Help with PERS Relief?

On May 21, the Ways and Means Capital Construction subcommittee in the Oregon Legislature passed an amendment to SB 1049, redirecting the state’s net revenues from future sports betting into an employer incentive fund. The incenti e fund is designed to provide a 25 percent match on lump sum payments public employers make into pension side accounts.

SB 1049 was introduced to help reduce public employers’ pension costs and address the PERS $27 billion unfunded liability.

Lottery Contract

The regon Lottery, in preparation for the renewal of retailer contracts, will be holding several listening sessions around the state in late summer and early fall. The sessions a e intended to open up discussions between lottery retailers and the Oregon Lottery on the upcoming contract renewal. Details are not yet available but as soon as ORLA has the information, we will send it out to Lottery retailers. In the meantime, see the latest Lottery related news at OregonRLA.org/Lottery.  GREG ASTLEY, ORLA OregonRLA.ORG 11

OLCC WATCH Discussions on Cannabis Tourism and Licensing Fee Increase

O

n a quarterly basis, ORLA has the opportunity to participate in meetings with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) to address issues impacting our industry. As members often have questions relating to licensing and other liquor or marijuana issues, ORLA appreciates the open lines of communications with the agency and the Commissioners.

Cannabis Tourism At a recent OLCC Commissioners meeting, ORLA presented on cannabis tourism and the challenges our industry faces with OLCC licensees not being able to host cannabis events on site without giving up their OLCC license. Executive Director Steve Marks clarified that O CC licensees are not able to hold cannabis-related events as the agency has defined a license ’s entire

property as being part of the license.

ORLA asked for consideration and discussion around the issue as cannabisrelated tourism is a growing segment of the industry. Commissioner Matt Maletis reinforced the opportunities available to cannabis-related tourism and expressed his appreciation for ORLA addressing the issue.

administrative rules to allow for two-year licenses.

License Fees At the request of Governor Kate Brown for the OLCC, SB 248 was introduced which would increase all licensing fees including those for breweries, wineries, distilleries and retailers. The inc ease is needed to upgrade technology and software for the agency to increase efficiency and oductivity. ORLA has been in discussions with the OLCC about the increase and received assurances from the agency that as part of the increased fees, OLCC would make a change in

The e would be exceptions to the two-year license offering which may include first-tim applicants and applicants who have had a violation in the last 12 months. Details are still being worked on at this time and ORLA will share updates with members as they come.

The two- ear license is something ORLA has heard members are interested in to help them save time and money by only having to apply for renewals every two years instead of annually.

If you have questions relating to OLCC licensing or other issues, feel free to reach out to me at Astley@OregonRLA.org.  GREG ASTLEY, ORLA

Jackie Winters The hospitality indust y and the state of Oregon lost a great champion when State Senator Jackie Winters passed away from lung cancer on May 29th, 2019.

Beloved by all in the Capitol for her sense of fairness and justice, Sen. Winters began her political career in 1969 when, at the request of Governor Tom McCall, she was recruited to be supervisor of the Office of conomic Opportunity’s New Resources Program.

In 1979 she was appointed Ombudsman by Governor Victor Atiyeh. During her tenure in that office, she helpe create the Oregon Food Share Program, the first statewide non-profit food sharing netwo k, which continues today serving Oregon’s neediest families.

In 1985, Jackie opened her first ackie’s Ribs restaurant in Salem. Over time, she and her family expanded to include

three restaurants, two franchises, catering services and numerous appearances in national Bar-B-Q Cook-offs.

Winters was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1998 and became the first African-American Republican ever to serve in the Oregon Legislative Assembly. She was reelected to this office in 2000 and then to th Oregon State Senate in 2002 where she served until her passing.

On November 15, 2017, Winters was elected as Senate Minority Leader to replace Ted Ferrioli. She became the first black legislative caucus leader in the state.

Jackie was an integral part of the Oregon Restaurant Association’s advocacy work as she served on the Government Affairs Committee and was pa t of the ORA’s Regional Board.

PUTTING THE CUSTOMER (YOU) AT THE FOREFRONT Guest Editorial from BOLI Commissioner

C

ommissioner Val Hoyle was sworn in as the new Commissioner for Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI). We asked for her thoughts on the job so far, the bureau’s relationship with businesses, and her vision for her first ear. The foll wing is an editorial provided by the Commissioner: In January, I was sworn in as Oregon’s 10th Labor Commissioner. This position wa established by the Legislature in 1903 in reaction to the challenges workers faced in the newly industrializing economy.

The Labor Commissioner was tasked t serve as a liaison between business and labor to ensure that workers’ rights were protected in the workplace. Today, the Bureau of Labor and Industries oversees the investigation, enforcement of and rulemaking for wage and hour and civil rights laws; provides technical assistance for businesses who want to understand those laws; and certifies app enticeship programs in the state.

I understand the value that the restaurant and lodging industry plays in our economy and the importance of those jobs for working people. I’ve worked in both restaurants and hotels. I also worked for 25 years in sales, from commission-only front-line sales to higher-end international business to business sales. I know what it’s like to have my income dependent on delivering on sales targets, the importance of customer service, and the reality of the bottom line. I’ve signed the fronts of paychecks, not just the backs.

During my campaign, I visited communities all over the state. I heard repeatedly about a variety of frustrations with BOLI, ideas for improvement, as well as gratitude for much of the work done by the bureau’s employees.

In my short time on the job, what I’ve found is that the agency is not currently built with the customer at the center.

Whether you are a business trying to

navigate complex and multilayered laws, or a worker trying to file a claim fo unpaid wages, we have a lot of work to do to be accessible and understandable. As an example, businesses ranging from sole proprietors to the largest corporations build their businesses around their customers’ ability to interact online and through their mobile device. If you’ve visited the BOLI website, you know that it is simply unnavigable. I believe that the vast majority of businesses take the state’s laws seriously and want to do right by their employees.

I also believe that if we expect employers to follow the rules, we need to make sure they have easy, timely access to that information. To that end, I’m working with the Legislature to fund an update and modernization of our online presence that puts the customer at the forefront. It is one of the top priorities for my administration.

VAL HOYLE, BOLI COMMISSIONER

I believe that BOLI’s Technical Assistance Program for businesses makes an enormous diffe ence in helping businesses avoid potentially costly mistakes. This se vice provides advice and guidance to employers on every law the agency enforces. I’ve received great feedback from around the state on this service, and I’m working to expand it, focusing on an initial expansion to have a representative based in Eastern Oregon able to provide technical assistance to businesses and information about our

apprenticeship programs. I was elected as a statewide elected official and want to ens e that my agency is providing services in every corner of the state.

In addition to technical assistance, I think that strong, sensible enforcement of the laws on the books is critical. Responsible business owners should not have to compete with businesses that have an unfair advantage because they are cheating their workers and skirting the law. Tha ’s where I see it as our role to help to maintain a level playing field and a competitive marketplace.

I am working to make this agency as efficient, effec e, and responsive as possible. Tha ’s why this legislative session, I am not advocating for any new laws or regulations. I am focused on the bottomline budget needs for the agency to do the job we are required to do. I am honored at the wide range of support that our request has received: from Republican and Democratic lawmakers, from labor and business, from agricultural and environmental advocates, and more.

That b oad support speaks to people’s desire to have a bureau that works. I hope it also speaks to people’s confidence that will lead this agency in a sensible, fair, and accountable manner. Oregon is one of only four states that directly elect their labor commissioners and I understand clearly that I am accountable to the people of Oregon. I look forward to working with the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association and its members throughout my tenure.  VAL HOYLE, BOLI COMMISSIONER

Tha ’s the message in a video from SAIF, highlighting the dangers of distracted walking: Youtu.be/CIYRfy6wqQg. “We’ve heard a lot about distracted driving, but cell phones can pose a big distraction for pedestrians, too,” said Matt Krell, safety and health services manager at SAIF. “We urge you to put away your cell phone when walking—and ideally, that includes your headphones.”

While distracted walking can be risky, Krell still recommends getting your steps in throughout the day. Physical activity helps employees stay alert and engaged, leading to fewer injuries. When taking your wellness break, Krell offers the foll wing safe walking precautions:

• Never text or talk on the phone while walking - and not just on the road. (More than half of distracted walking injuries happen at home.)

“As the days are longer, sunrise and sunset can cause even greater visibility issues. It’s especially important to be aware of your surroundings and to make sure you’re visible to everyone else on the road,” says Krell.

• Remove headphones.

• Walk on the sidewalk if possible. If you must walk on the street, face oncoming traffi

INCIDENT LOGS: To Log or Not to Log Is a Question All Licensees Should Ask Themselves

T

he OLCC recommends that licensees maintain incident logs, but licensees must be mindful of how they do so, because incident logs may be used against them later.

OLCC Recommendations.

The O CC encourages you to keep an Incident Log. Per the OLCC, examples of when you should make an entry in the log include any time you or your employees intervene to prevent or stop customer conduct such as: • Refusing someone alcohol service; • Cutting someone off or emoving a drink; • Arranging safe transportation home for someone who appears intoxicated; • Stopping an argument, fight, or assault • Stopping other illegal activities; or, • Asking a noisy customer to be quiet as they leave or drive away.

The O CC also recommends putting other activities in your log, including whenever an incident is reported to the police or OLCC, whenever you receive a complaint from a neighbor, or any other time you think it necessary. The O CC states that the licensee will benefit f om keeping an incident log because: “Sometimes, complaints, investigations, or lawsuits do not surface until weeks, months, or years after the incident occurred. Gathering complete and accurate information immediately after an incident is one of the best ways to document how you and your employees handled the problem.”

Reason for Concern.

The O CC could potentially substantiate a history of serious and persistent problems violation based solely on a licensee’s incident log. The p oposed sanction for such a violation is license cancellation. The O CC has made it clear in a prior decision that it considers incident logs sufficiently eliable as evidence to document a serious incident in a history of serious and persistent problems violation case. In other words, a licensee’s log book is admissible evidence in an administrative hearing and can be held against the licensee to prove a history of serious and persistent problems violation.

The O CC concluded that incident logs are reliable evidence because they would not be considered hearsay under the Oregon Evidence Code. Specificall , log entries fall within a hearsay

exception as a statement made by a party opponent under ORS 40.450(4)(b) and as business records kept in the ordinary course under ORS 40.460(6). Because incident logs would be admissible in civil litigation under those hearsay exceptions, the Commission concluded that incident logs are reliable and therefore admissible under the evidentiary standard for contested cases set out in ORS 183.450(1).

Although the OLCC stated that the evidentiary value of incident logs would be reduced to the extent that there was no corroborating evidence or testimony concerning the events in the incident log, it’s clear that a poorly kept incident log can cost a licensee its license under certain circumstances.

Best Practices.

Keeping an incident log can be beneficial to operating a successful profitable, and compliant business. The CC recommends keeping an incident log in a bound notebook from which no pages can be removed. The th ee most important aspects of keeping a log book are: 1. Regular review of the log book by an owner or manager; 2. Timely documentation of proactive steps that the licensee or the licensee’s staff took in esponse to problems; and 3. Training staff egarding how to draft a log entry.

Regular Review.

To maximize the benefit and minimi e the potential risks of keeping a log book, an owner or manager should regularly review entries and take appropriate steps to address documented incidents and trends in incidents. The best practice is to eview the log book every day. Prompt, regular review will enable an owner or manager to investigate a serious incident while it is still OregonRLA.ORG 19

fresh in staff member ’ minds. In addition, if the business has video cameras, an owner or manager can review the applicable video and preserve copies before it has been recorded over.

Proactive Steps.

If a troubling incident or trend in incidents occurs, a licensee should take immediate steps to prevent or control the problems. The scope and nature of the proactive steps will depend on the scope and nature of the incidents. But getting ahead of problems can potentially prevent expensive and time-consuming issues with the OLCC, law enforcement, and local government.

Drafting Entries.

As noted, the OLCC recommends that incident logs be kept in bound books from which pages cannot be removed. It may be helpful to purchase a separate calendar book for each year. Or, write the coverage dates on the front of a simple journal, so that it can be easily identified late . Log entries should be written in a professional tone. Entries should describe the incident in plain English, state an accurate description of events, and indicate how the business identified and esolved the issue. The basic components of an entry might include: the date and time of the incident, the name of the staff member writing the entry, a factual description of the incident, the names of involved individuals, whether the police were called or involved, whether security was involved, whether anyone was hurt, what proactive steps staff took to address the issue, and any other information that may be helpful in understanding what occurred. Consider writing the

elements of a log entry on the inside of the front cover or first page of the log book, so that staff can easily efer to it.

Although log books often focus on problem incidents, they also can be used to record positive information. Daily log entries can be helpful even when no incidents occur, because they can establish a pattern of compliant operation. For example, an entry that states, “Busy night, no problems,” takes only a moment to complete and can help to demonstrate that staff a e doing things right.

Take Away.

The e are many reasons why a bar or restaurant should keep an incident log. If you decide that a log is right for your business, you must review it regularly, train your staff to understand h w to report incidents, and take prompt and proactive steps to address any issues that arise. An incident log is just one of many tools that a licensee can use to run a compliant business – including regular staff training, video recording, and secret shoppers, among others. At its best, an incident log can help a licensee to quickly spot and address issues before they turn into persistent problems, and to preserve evidence of how staff handled incidents as they occur ed. Over time, the log books of a well-managed business can demonstrate that a licensee has effecti ely prevented, reduced, or eliminated issues through proactive management.  DUKE TUFTY, NORTHWEST ALCOHOL LAW About

LOCAL TRENDS, NATIONAL INTEREST

JEFF BROWN, GM OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE OPERATIONS, SAGE RESTAURANT GROUP “LEARNING LAB”

Oregon on the Leading Edge of Hyperlocal and ‘Infused’ Experiences Trends represent the coming together of our common consciousness—a reflection of the things we see and like and come to advocate for until they reach a pinnacle of interest and begin to die down. Trends may come and go, but when they’re hot, it’s important to pay attention to them. While they may not be something to build a business around, finding a way to incorporate them in some way can build your business and help you stand out from the competition.

The ational Restaurant Association’s (NRA) annual What’s Hot Culinary Forecast examines the trends that are

22

exciting consumers and providing new opportunities for hospitality companies around the country. While all of these trends are worth noting, there are two that seem especially well-suited to Oregon: an emphasis on sourcing hyperlocal food and beverages, and the growing interest in CBD and cannabis-infused products.

Hyperlocalism can be considered the next evolution of the farm-to-table trend that has been popular for many years. For restaurants, it can include sourcing food from onsite gardens or apiaries; brewing beer or distilling spirits inside a restaurant;

or crafting condiments, breads and other staples in-house. The t end seems to be driven by young people who want to know where their food comes from and what it contains so they can avoid allergens.

But anyone can get excited about buying fresh food that contains lots of fla or and nutrients and supports the local economy.

“Nearly 77 percent of the chefs ranked cannabis/CBD-infused drinks as the No. 1 trend, and 76 percent of them tapped cannabis/CBD-infused food as the second most popular,” the culinary report shared.

“Chefs who participated in the survey said

infusing foods with the ingredients could create unique cuisine opportunities and potential new markets for experiential dining occasions.” As one of 10 states where recreational marijuana is legal, and one of the first places whe e it became legal, Oregon has above-average opportunities for marijuana tourism (not to mention use by local citizens).

While smoking is a common way to consume pot, many people prefer the experience of consuming it in chocolate, gummies, cocktails, coffee and other consumables CBD or cannabidiol is a product that is still new to many people. CBD is derived

from marijuana or hemp which is also a member of the cannabis family. While the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in hemp and marijuana plants produces a feeling of euphoria, also known as a “high,” CBD does not. Anecdotally, CBD is thought to have multiple health benefits, h wever currently there’s no conclusive evidence to support these CBD medical claims.

Here is our Oregon take on how these two important trends are playing out, as well as suggestions for other hospitality companies looking to dive into these areas.

HYPERLOCAL

Visitors to The ines, a boutique hotel in downtown Portland, are likely to find eff Brown huddled over a tank full of tilapia or fermenting rice bran for the hotel’s restaurants, Departure and Urban Farmer Steakhouse. Brown, who is the general manager of food and beverage operations at Colorado-based Sage Restaurant Group, which manages and operates three restaurants in Portland, including The Original Dinerant, is a passionate proponent of the hyperlocal food movement.

JEFF BROWN, GM OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE OPERATIONS, SAGE RESTAURANT GROUP “LEARNING LAB” PHOTO CREDIT: HEIDI JANKE

The hote ’s venture into growing its own food started six years ago with a rooftop garden meant to supply edible fl wers to the restaurants. It’s since grown and added a variety of other produce, including lettuce, berries and hops. Bees zoom in and out of the hives placed at the perimeter of the garden.

“About three years ago we started transitioning into other ways to grow food,” Brown said. He created a “learning lab” in the basement where employees could experiment with hydroponic, aquaponic and aeroponic growing. They sta ted raising tilapia and vegetables, both of which make their way onto plates at Departure and Urban Farmer. The p operty has since added rooms for fermenting and pickling, and set aside space for growing mushrooms.

“We’re trying to establish the property as an educational hub and foster curiosity about how to grow your own,” Brown said.

“I think everyone should be able to grow their own food.” The p ogram has the added benefit of being g eat for employee morale and retention. “People feel like they’re part of something instead of just one big hotel and restaurant. The ’re encouraged to be curious and learn.”

24

Many guests learn about the hyperlocal program through an ever-changing menu that features foods grown or raised on the property. Once their interest is piqued, people who want to find out mo e about the hyperlocal program are offe ed a tour of the various food-producing areas. “We give anywhere from 10 to 20 tours a month,” said Brown.

While it’s easy to see how the hyperlocal focus benefits the estaurant, the hotel is realizing there’s a marketing benefit fo them as well. “The sales managers wan infographics on what we are doing. People are intrigued,” Brown said.

of Falling Sky’s three restaurants (which include the brewpub, deli and pizzeria at the University of Oregon). “Where people take it too seriously is they think it’s like a purity contest, where they think they need to have 100 percent local. We still get lemons and limes from California. But the majority of things we have are local and we always want to work with the other purveyors.”

As an example of local sourcing, Falling Sky gets all of its salad greens from nearby Lost Creek Farms. By working with the same farm on a regular basis, Cohen has been able to give the grower feedback on how to make the salad greens work better for the restaurant. In the beginning the organic greens weren’t always ready to serve.

Now the farmer takes extra steps to process the greens, which has helped expand his business to other restaurants as well. In addition, he can count on selling a large amount of his inventory of greens to Falling Sky, which gives him a reliable market and source of income each season.

Rob Cohen, owner of Falling Sky Brewing in Eugene, isn’t sourcing quite as locally as Brown. But he does make an effo t to buy from local farmers as much as possible.

“The Willamette Valley is just so amazing for food, so we have every incentive to get things locally and hyperlocally,” he said.

For him, hyperlocal doesn’t mean everything has to come within 25 or 50 miles of one

Fish for Falling Sky comes mostly from Newman’s Fish Market, which is a block away. Much of their inventory comes from the Oregon coast, which means Cohen knows he is getting local food that’s of higher quality. The two companies ha e even partnered on certain events. “We had the owner come over and make paella with us one night. We called it Newman’s night at Falling Sky,” he said. “On some levels we’re competitors.” (Newman’s has a small restaurant that sells fish and chips and

other prepared food in addition to the fish market.) “But what’s so nice about Eugene is we can work together. It’s good marketing.

We promote each other, and it’s a good way to tell our story.”

An important part of the brewery’s story is the hyperlocal piece, Cohen emphasized. “At Falling Sky, we really try to make it about the place. We want to make Falling Sky about being in Eugene and the Willamette Valley, and we try to reflect that in our menu and our focus. Brewpubs can be kind of generic. We wanted to be a place that people were loyal to and that they found unique to where we are.”

Restaurants and hotels looking to source more local food can get started by simply being more mindful of who they buy from. “Question your vendors,” Brown said. “Just because you buy food through a local distributor doesn’t mean it’s local.”

Educate staff in olved in purchasing about what local means so they can make good decisions too.

Cohen’s advice on local sourcing is to visit farmers markets and talk to the purveyors.

“When things are in season, they’re more plentiful, more fla orful and more colorful.

That makes them mo e memorable for guests. It’s just like a farm-fresh egg versus a mass-produced egg. Once you have that farm-fresh egg, and see that color and taste the diffe ence, it’s hard to go with something from a grocery store.”

6/10/19 9:24 AM

CANNABIS AND CBD PRODUCTS Ben Artaiz, owner of Donnie Vegas in Portland, got an early heads up to the coming CBD cocktail craze. “A friend of mine who’s more connected into the CBD and marijuana scene was telling me one night, ‘You should look into CBD cocktails. It’s going to be the next big thing,’” he said.

Encouraged by this friend, Artaiz contacted the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) to make sure he wouldn’t be breaking the law by serving CBD-infused products at the bar. The use of CBD-infuse products at an OLCC-licensed establishment might be allowable depending on the nature and the source of the product. The p oduct is prohibited from containing any THC, and the source of the CBD is important.

Under state law, all businesses, other than licensed marijuana businesses, are prohibited from making or selling any product that contains marijuana or is derived from marijuana. Because CBD can be derived from marijuana, a business must verify that the CBD was derived from hemp. Failing to do so could negatively impact a business.

For example, it is a violation for any business with a liquor license to permit the use, consumption, ingestion, or inhalation of marijuana items on a premises licensed to sell or serve alcoholic beverages. If a business chooses to sell CBD products, it is up to the

26

licensee to make sure that the product being sold is compliant with all laws and rules.

This includes erifying that the product was lawfully produced and tested.

Because hemp products intended for human consumption must be tested, the licensee must also obtain proof the hemp product is in compliance with state law. Hemp products might contain THC and it is important for a liquor licensee to ensure that the product it is selling does not contain THC. Artaiz’s next step was to find a sou ce of CBD products—something that wasn’t as easy as it is today. But he tracked down a cranberryblood orange soda with CBD from a company called Ablis. “It’s more tart than sweet. I tasted it and figu ed it would be an easy thing to make a margarita out of,” he said.

From that, an infused margarita was born.

It took a few tweaks to get it right, but for today’s drink, bartenders combine the soda with lime, simple syrup and prickly pear juice. The bright pink concoction is then pu into a slushy machine and frozen. “It’s been a hit since day one,” Artaiz said. “Trying CBD in a margarita is an easy foray into this world because you’re already out in a bar and you’re already imbibing, so it’s easy to try it and people like it.” CBD can have a mildly bitter fla or similar to hops, but any bitterness is usually masked with the drink’s sweetness.

The drink sold so ell that Artaiz started looking for other ways to put CBD on the menu. The bar n w carries a CDB-infused sparkling water sweetened with fruit juice from copa cbd in Bend. It provides a nonalcoholic, low-sugar option for patrons and staff. artenders add a CBD syrup to any beverage, which is a nice upsell. In addition, there are now CBD suckers in a vending machine that sells knick-knacks, cigarettes and snacks. The benefit of these no alcoholic products is that consumers can keep ordering them without the danger or liability of continuing to consume alcohol.

However, some CBD products on the market may not be what they claim. A recent analysis of CBD products found that some CBD products were mislabeled as to the amount of CBD they contained and some products didn’t contain any CBD at all. This is why it is ext emely important to only use CBD products that have been properly tested by a certified laborato y.

Other state agencies, including the Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon Health Authority might have regulatory oversight over other CBD containing products.

Before he learned more about CBD, Artaiz’s biggest concern was that it might provide enough of a high to cause problems, especially when mixed with alcohol. “In my

experience, there’s zero cognitive inhibition that comes along with it,” he said.

Restaurants aren’t the only hospitality companies benefiting f om the interest in legal marijuana and hemp products. Th Hood River Hotel partners with a nearby dispensary called Gorge Greenery to offe two options for marijuana tourists. People can request an “everything but the weed kit” that includes a pipe, lighter, rolling papers and everything else they would need to imbibe. The second option is the Tokin Around The orge” package, which includes the “everything but the weed” kit and a $50 gift certificate to orge Greenery.

The ood River Hotel has the same owners as Portland’s Jupiter Hotel, which is wellknown for its support of the legal marijuana industry and has offe ed similar packages for several years. Duncan believes the packages make a lot of sense from a hospitality standpoint. “For hoteliers, we like to provide experiences for guests that they may not get somewhere else,” said Jeremy Duncan, the hotel’s general manager. “For Hood River, if you want to come and do the Fruit Loop, and you want to do some wine tasting or some beer tasting or windsurfing— e think this falls in line with all of those other activities. As hoteliers, that’s our goal—what can we do to enhance the guest experience and separate ourselves form other hotels?”

adopted by the Oregon Health Authority for testing marijuana items. The tests determine whether any microbiological contaminants, pesticides, solvents, or

Duncan finds that customers (the majorit of whom come from the Portland area, not from out of state) don’t tend to order a kit when they make their reservations. “But once people get here and see it, they swoop it up pretty fast,” Duncan said.

One of the deterrents to ordering the package may be that people can’t smoke marijuana due to Oregon’s Indoor Clean Air act prohibiting smoking in public indoor places except in certain designated smoking areas–but the law is more restrictive for marijuana. “You can only smoke it in your private residence,” Duncan said. “The kit are something people take home.” Th appeal, then, still seems to be the novelty of exploring legal marijuana—something that people may have the time or lowered inhibition to learn about while on vacation and away from the eyes of their neighbors and coworkers.

Although it is illegal for businesses, other than those licensed as marijuana licensees, to provide marijuana to consumers, the hospitality industry shows growing interest in providing CBD products to its customers.

If a CBD product is produced in Oregon and intended for human consumption, the product must meet the same standards for testing as marijuana items. Businesses should verify that the CBD product has

other contaminants are present in the item and also test the THC and CBD concentration of the product. Although the tests screen for specific contaminants and pesticides, the hemp product might contain other dangerous contaminants that may not be detected during testing.

One that’s also familiar with the marketplace can provide some guidance on how to implement a program that is beneficial t everyone involved.  SOPHIA BENNETT, IN CONSULTATION WITH OLCC POLICY STAFF

CELEBRATING HOSPITALITY CHAMPIONS Industry Members Step Up for Leadership Teams and Work Groups

The foll wing individuals are examples of the people around the state who are answering the call of industry service. Our commitment to them and their counterparts is to make a true diffe ence on key hospitality issues in their region and have fun while doing it.

PAMELA LEWIS

Marketing and Program Events Manager at Food Services of America Member of ORLA’s Food Loss / Food Waste Prevention Solutions Work Group

Thanks to OR A members like Pamela, the association in partnership with Metro and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality are bringing higher levels of awareness to both food waste prevention and the business of saving money by reducing food loss. As the working group launched earlier this year, it was evident that there are significant dollars bein saved by operators who are bringing intentionality to their approach to food service. The purpose of OR A’s Food Loss / Food Waste working group is to engage more industry operators in the opportunities to better control food waste in a way that strengthens their bottom-line performance.

I

f Oregon is anything it’s authentic. As Oregon’s second largest private sector industry behind health care, the hospitality industry is entrusted with the responsibility of inviting guests and encouraging their return to our exceptional state. Over the past year, the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association has embarked on a renewed effo t to build teams of regional hospitality champions. These leadership teams an working groups are designed to assist industry professionals with opportunities to work collectively with others to engage local elected leaders and stay on top of local and regional hospitality issues in partnership with local destination marketing organizations and Chambers of Commerce. Our champions help lead by example and we hope their stories will inspire others to take on regional industry challenges in their areas of interest.

If you have always wanted to get more involved in your state association, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. The e are plenty of opportunities to bring your strengths to the table and to work with others to achieve a common goal while developing professionally.

Our partners at Metro have launched the “Food Waste Stops with Me” campaign to bring more awareness to the opportunities to think diffe ently about the preparation, plating, and disposal of food. As an active partner on the working group, Metro is working with ORLA members like Pamela to identify strategies to increase participation in available food waste prevention programs and look at the feasibility of developing a certification fo operators who adopt procedures which result in waste reduction.

“Fourteen years ago, you rarely heard terms like sustainability or environmental impact,” said Lewis. “Organic foods, composting, and zero waste initiatives were not on the industry’s radar. Effo ts like Food Service of America’s SNOR (Sustainable, Natural, Organic, Regional) marketing campaign and ORLA’s committee are providing a fresh take on learning opportunities.”

As a leader of Food Services of America’s marketing campaign, Lewis has found success in meeting key benchmarks she had set out for herself for the world of work. “SNOR has allowed me to reach certain goals in my life, professionally and personally, including public speaking, meeting new people in the industry, and making customers more aware of zero waste effo ts.”

KEN HENSON

Director of Restaurant Operations, Nestucca Ridge Family of Companies Member of ORLA’s North Coast Leadership Team

ORLA’s North Coast Leadership Team has been convened to pay close attention to hospitality issues from Pacific City up to Astoria.

As a member of the Pelican Brewing family, Ken is actively engaged in the communities of Pacific Cit , Tillamook, and Cannon Beach among others. In a recent meeting, the North Coast Leadership Team met with Clatsop County Manager Monica Steele about industry representation on an oversight committee for the county’s new one percent lodging tax. Of the fi e members serving on the county committee, ORLA’s leadership team felt it appropriate to have three of the members come from Clatsop County’s lodging industry which was agreed to by the County Administrator. “I hope we can help to engage other industry leaders and influence a n w way of thinking about hospitality and leadership in Oregon, one where all of us realize how truly fortunate we are to be in service and provide hospitality Oregon-style to every restaurant and lodging guest in the state,” said Henson.

Henson sees workforce development issues as a primary concern now and in the future for several industry sectors in our state including hospitality. ORLA leadership teams like the north coast’s will be engaging on workforce solution opportunities as part of their overall work. “One of the biggest challenges I have faced is a lack of professionalism in hospitality. I remain convinced that if I can be the best employer in the state and treat every employee with courtesy, honesty, dignity, respect, empathy, and professionalism that our teams can fall in love with what we represent,” said Henson. “Holding our teammates to the highest standards of excellence will hopefully be a value they carry with them into the world.”

Current projects of the North Coast Leadership Team include reviewing current investments being made by local governments with lodging tax dollars restricted for tourism promotion and tourism-related facilities. The team meets 3-4 times a ear at team member locations along the north coast corridor.

STACY WESSON

General Manager of Cascara Vacation Rentals Member of ORLA’s Central Oregon Leadership Team

Similar to the North Coast team, ORLA’s Central Oregon Leadership Team was launched to localize regional issues that could use an assist from state association staff. n addition to issues including oversight of local lodging tax expenditures, central Oregon and southern Oregon have reeled from the compounding impact of wildfi es and smoke on the guest experience during recent summer seasons. Conversations at the latest meeting revolved around changing dynamics and adjusting projections on summer sales given the wildfi e impacts that could be looming. In addition to representing hotels and motels, ORLA also advocates for shortterm rental companies like Cascara who are proactively playing by the rules as it relates to local lodging tax collections, necessary permitting, and safety and code enforcement laws.

“As a new business owner by way of taking over the family business, I feel a need to know about the latest legislative activity and how those potential laws could affect my business ” said Wesson. “The enti e legislative arena is daunting and can be overwhelming for a newcomer. By joining ORLA, I can access their take on upcoming legal issues specific to me and m hospitality-based business.”

Leadership teams like the one recently launched in Central Oregon are designed to keep independently owned businesses at the table in decision making situations. Stacy is a perfect example of an industry colleague interested in looking out for businesses of all sizes.

“I’m excited to learn from fellow leadership team members who are already strong in their fields. I am looking to learn so muc more about the industry and bring the 30-plus years of knowledge I have in the industry to push for the small business owner. Th tourism industry is being flooded with big corporations and want to bring small business to the table.”

The Central regon Leadership Team is slated to meet roughly three times a year and will begin focusing on key relationships with elected leaders from the region by inviting them to join future meetings for candid discussions about opportunities and challenges facing the industry in central Oregon.  JASON BRANDT, ORLA OregonRLA.ORG 47

ADDRESSING WORKFORCE CHALLENGES New Ideas and Results!

Engage: en•gage | \ in-'gāj\, transitive verb 1: to offer (something…) as backing to a cause or aim… to expose to risk for the attainment or support of some end (MerriamWebster)

W

ORKFORCE. Whenever you hear this word now among our industry it seems attached to another word, “lack.”

Lack of recruits. Lack of skills.

Lack of commitment.

Is this situation hopeless? It may seem that way to those who have not yet engaged in the myriad of ways hospitality industry partners have become involved in addressing these ‘lack of ’ challenges. A few examples of partnerships ORLAEF is involved with may be inspirational!

RECRUITING AND BUILDING A PIPELINE Oregon has more than 3,000 high school students involved with ProStart. Without industry involvement and encouragement to pursue foodservice careers, the result of these students’ experience in the two-year culinary and management program could be just the memory of a fun elective course and a personal skill-builder.

In many states, however, this foodservice career exploration program has become an effecti e pipeline for future employees.

How to engage? For example, Sysco Portland realized that its foodservice clients cannot succeed without a healthy workforce, and so have made supporting ProStart and other culinary training programs a top priority via sponsorship, mentorship, and scholarships! Learn more about their ideas by listening to a recent Boiled Down podcast, #22-Th Future Workforce, at OregonRLA.org/podcast.

Engagement can take many forms. Think about an adult tha inspired you, a teacher, an employer, a coach—today’s youth need mentors just as much, if not more, than previous generations.

I asked Irina Bakun, a former ProStart student herself, culinary school graduate, and chef why she volunteered to mentor students who were planning to compete in our state competition. Her response was enlightening as she noted the positive effect not only for the students, but for herself.

“Working with high school students is exciting. They keep you on your feet, they really test your knowledge and communication methods.

A surprising by-product is that mentoring helped me polish my training skills.

From personal experience as a ProStart student on a team that had a mentor, I know firsthand that the more students are engaged with professionals the better they can understand the demands of a professional schedule, what working in a kitchen is like and the skills they will be expected to have when they leave the classroom and enter the restaurant industry. Working together can forge a meaningful bond that can create rewarding lifelong relationships,” Irina explained.

“Recently, a student that I mentored three years ago called and asked for a reference. It was great to hear he was still cooking and fact that I was still on his radar and he wanted my opinion and support!”

BUILDING SKILLS “Hire for attitude, train for skill” is a popular adage. Perhaps it feels more challenging when the pipeline feels dry, however. Going to the source, worksource agencies that is, may help. Kristin and Drew Roslund, owners of the Overleaf Lodge & Spa, took a leadership role by engaging with ORLAEF and the Oregon Coast

Visitors Association to create a pilot training program targeting to unemployed residents in Lincoln County. The p ogram uses internationally accredited skill-building curriculum to help participants better qualify and prepare for work in the hospitality industry. Scholarships, funded through Travel Oregon, also pay for participants to earn their certifications as Ce tified uest Service Professionals, one of our industry’s most important skills.

In Portland, Travel Portland is also seeking to take an active role in helping stakeholders with workforce challenges and invited ORLAEF to exhibit at a recent Opportunity Youth Job Fair. One result, thanks to funding from Worksystems, Inc. in Portland, is that 200 youth took ORLA’s food handler course and are now applying for jobs! Worksystems is also now committing to using the Guest Service Gold Tourism training curriculum for the hundreds of youth who are seeking skills and jobs that it serves.

INCREASING EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT Decreasing turnover can have a big effect on the bottom line ORLAEF was curious about best practices being used in Oregon that were having a positive effect on empl yee satisfaction which tracked to increased commitment and retention. We commissioned OSU Hospitality Management Department’s research team to do a study to identify and interview companies that were seeing results from innovative programs. Thes practices, captured via video interviews, are encouraging.

Employee engagement tactics range from offering soft-sid benefits, to suppo ting associate wellness programs, to nurturing a family-friendly company culture, to sharing leadership roles. Become inspired by viewing these videos at OregonRLA.org/workforcepractices.

The way that e communicate with our guests, our staff, our endors and applicants has changed so much during my career. Social media, review sites, scheduling apps, are just the beginning. I think these new communications are being adopted multi-generationally.

A lot more companies offering inn vative employee benefits like EA , Telemedicine, Pet Insurance, Alternative Medicine and Volunteer Time-off. ll employees are adopters, because they can be offe ed to all employees regardless of how much they work. This helps etain employees, keeping them engaged with their employer, especially in a competitive market.

Plant-based product. Whether for environmental, health or ethical reasons, plantbased product is here to stay and grow. I see the younger generation leading the charge.

The rise of eganism in older diners who are trying a plant-based diet perhaps at the suggestion of their doctor or to support a belief (or climate change, etc.)

The biggest t end I’m noticing in the hospitality industry is rooftop and lobby bars; Millennials have made stylish bars in hotels a must have.
