The employment outlook will be limited for Food service supervisors (NOC 62020) in the Gaspésie - Îles-de-la-Madeleine region for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment growth will lead to a moderate number of new positions.
• Not many positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are several unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

The employment dynamics in this profession primarily follow the trends of the restaurant industry, which is sensitive to the economic conditions, demographics, and tourism. It is important to note that some positions are found in hospital or school cafeterias and catering services, which offer more job stability compared to fast food and traditional restaurants.

The return to on-site work could improve opportunities for catering and cafeteria services in businesses and office buildings.

In addition, the increase in the number of single-person households, better tourism opportunities in Quebec and an ageing population that is supported, among other things, by initiatives to improve the food supply in nursing homes, could support this sector.      

As a supervisory position, this occupation is available mainly to people with good experience in the restaurant industry, which is almost essential given that training alone is not enough. However, like other occupations in the restaurant sector, this position faces recruitment challenges. 

Here are some key facts about Food service supervisors in the Gaspésie - Îles-de-la-Madeleine region:
