Summer isn’t just about longer days and warmer weather—it’s also the perfect time for a mid-year recharge. For restaurant and hospitality workers who hustle hard year-round, this season offers a chance to pause, reflect, and refocus on personal wellness and professional goals.
Why a Mid-Year Check-In Matters
The pace of restaurant life doesn’t always leave much room for self-care. That’s why a mid-year check-in can be a game-changer. It’s a reminder to assess how you’re feeling—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and take small steps toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Here Are a Few Ways to Recharge This Summer:
1. Take Advantage of Your ServSafe Benefits

Wellness services: Whether it’s a vision check-up or a chiropractic adjustment, summer is a great time to schedule the appointments you’ve been putting off.
2. Get Outside When You Can
Sunshine and fresh air can do wonders for your mood and energy. Even a short walk during your break can help reset your mindset.
3. Set One Professional Goal
Whether it’s improving your communication skills or preparing for a leadership role, access ServSafe Benefits’ Learning Library of over 250 career videos to take one step toward your next achievement.
4. Reconnect with Your “Why”
What brought you into this industry? Summer’s slower pace (for some) is a good time to reflect on what you love about your work and how you can make the most of it.
5. Reach Out to Your Circle
Call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while or grab coffee with a former coworker. Reconnecting with others can boost our mood, build support, and even open new doors for your career.
