Call for pioneer women in the catering sector to join the business syndicate

The Syndicate for Owners of Restaurants, Cafes, Night Clubs and Pastries in Lebanon held a meeting yesterday in Beirut at its Ain Mreiseh premises in the presence of two women board members, Maya Bakhaizi and Mireille Hayek and some 20 other business women active in the catering sector. The meeting which was headed by the syndicate’s head, Toni Rami, outlined the achievements since the election of its new board of directors and highlighted the advantages and benefits of membership. At the end of the meeting, Bakhaizi and Hayek underscored the importance of women’s active participation in the life of the industry “particularly if they were successful on par with men.” They went on to say that presently a large number of restaurants are run by women entrepreneurs, noting that membership in the syndicate will assist in boosting its performance and will enable them to achieve their demands.
