Behind the Scenes in a Restaurant: A Study of 1017 Women Restaurant Employees

''Behind the Scenes in a Restaurant: A Study of 1017 Women Restaurant Employees'' was published in 1916 by the Consumers' League of New York City. This scientific study examines the working conditions of over a thousand women employed in New York City's restaurant industry, focusing on their hours, wages, and health. It reveals issues such as excessive working hours, low pay reliant on tips, and the demographic profile of these workers, many of whom are young, foreign-born women. The report advocates for legislative reforms to improve working conditions and protect the rights of these employees.
