    Inflation, product costs and labor costs today form the Holy Trinity that determines the survival of restaurants and hotels. In this roundtable, we will address, through an economic and strategic perspective, how these three factors are reshaping margins, forcing changes in operational models, and requiring difficult but necessary decisions. A conversation to understand what is really happening, which impacts are coming from outside the sector, and which levers remain in the hands of business owners to protect their business, their teams, and their medium-term viability.
