Survey: Men make more than women in hospitality management

From fast food and senior living foodservice managers to upscale dining and grocery stores, men, a new survey shows, make more money, on average, than women in the Southeast, including Florida. The gap, while wide in some positions, is shrinking some of late, as women, when they received a raise last year, got a bump, on average, 35% higher than men.

The survey is from Fort Myers-based nationwide hospitality recruitment company Gecko Hospitality. Its sixth annual Hospitality Management Salary Survey Report is based on information Gecko Hospitality obtained directly from hospitality management professionals last year. The survey reveals information from more than 1,800 restaurant and hospitality management professionals throughout the United States and Canada, according to a statement.
