Each summer Avero hires recent college graduates and current student interns who have an interest in hospitality to participate in the Avero Management Program, and this year’s class is our largest yet. The summer-long training program “Avero U” officially kicks off next week in our New York office with educational sessions on Avero’s industry-leading software, discussions about the state of the restaurant industry, and a tour of classic and trendy New York restaurants. Please join us in welcoming the Avero Management Program Class of 2016!
