The tragic death of the influential chef and writer Anthony Bourdain in July was a big wake-up call for the hospitality industry.
It's prompted New Zealand's restaurant association to host a two-day hui later in October to talk about how best to safeguard the mental health of workers in an industry infamous for its gruelling hours and self-sacrifice.
The association's chief executive Marisa Bidois joins us to talk about some of the inherent issues in the industry, and how hospitality bosses and workers can safeguard against them.
