Founded by three women deep in the New York food industry trenches — Elizabeth Meltz (Dig Inn), Liz Murray (The Marlow Collective) and Erin Fairbanks (GROUT Consulting) — Women in Hospitality United (WiHU) is a new organization born from the #metoo movement and the urgent need for evolution in the hospitality industry.
On September 24th in Brooklyn, NY, the group will host its inaugural “Solution Sprint,” a one-day event modeled after the hackathon approach. The Solution Sprint aims to tackle some of the most challenging issues facing the hospitality industry. Teams will be developed in advance to work on projects, and anyone can apply for both Solution Sprint Projects and Sprint Team Members, individual or organization.
Ideas and applications are accepted here (deadline: Aug 31).
The Solution Sprint will be held Monday, September 24th at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg.
WiHU also offers informational talks with restaurant staff during family meals (tonight, at Sylvia’s in Harlem).

Love seeing women supporting women in the hospitality industry! Empowerment, community, and taking care of ourselves go hand in hand. Whether it’s building careers or prioritizing health, having the right tools makes a big difference. I’ve been using the Selin App https://selin.app/ to track my cycle and stay in tune with my body—it’s a simple way to support wellness while balancing a busy life. Cheers to women lifting each other up in every space!
