Chicago, IL · Salons
Chicago is a serious hospitality market — Michelin-starred restaurants in the West Loop, flagship hotels on Michigan Avenue, private clubs along the Gold Coast, and a convention economy that stresses every front desk in the city. The seasonal swing matters here: summer convention compression, winter group business, and a relentless restaurant week cycle create predictable phone surges that staffing models cannot quite catch. Chicago restaurants report some of the highest reservation modification volumes in the country, in part because of weather-driven plan changes.
