On today's episode we talk with Vernetta Kosalka, a professor of tourism and hospitality management at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

What is Slow Down Town?

Slow Down Town is a mini-series podcast exploring how the food service industry, both owners and employees, navigate their finances during the "slow season." Oftentimes in the winter or other parts of the year, individuals who work in this industry must navigate their finances differently because of the change in the amount of customers coming into the restaurant. This podcast hopes to further expand on this phenomenon and how it affects all workers involved.
