LAS VEGAS, Nev., March 8, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ori\u2019Zaba\u2019s, one of Las Vegas\u2019s most popular scratch Mexican food franchises, has become a leading voice – and employer – for women who seek leadership roles in the restaurant industry.<\/p>\n

\"Women
\nThe nineteen-year-old Mexican food franchise was founded by longtime Las Vegas restaurateur Kori McClurg, a military veteran and corporate executive, who understands the value women managers, employees and leaders bring to a company.<\/p>\n

After serving in the United States Air Force and working as a defense contractor, Kori developed strong analytic and leadership skills, which she most recently put to work managing private investments and as an owner of Ori\u2019Zaba\u2019s Scratch Mexican Grill.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a woman, who has fought her way up in the military and also the corporate chain of command, I know the challenges women face in the workplace. That\u2019s why Ori\u2019Zaba\u2019s stresses a culture that celebrates women leaders,\u201d McClurg said.<\/p>\n

The company actively engages in a hiring and promotional process that increases the number of talented women in leadership roles. More than 80 percent of the of Ori\u2019Zaba\u2019s Franchise General Managers are women. About 60 percent of the company\u2019s executive team are women.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen make up the majority of the population and it\u2019s about time companies and franchises reflect that reality and bring more women into all workplaces,\u201d McClurg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to enhance our culture, improve training, and reduce turnover. The people we have in our GM positions have been able to achieve that. I believe that is a testament to skills that are not traditionally thought of as strong leadership characteristics. When we start thinking about what actually impacts our business and the bottom line versus what makes a \u2018strong\u2019 leader, these women have been able to make a difference,\u201d McClurg said.<\/p>\n

In honor of International Women\u2019s Day 2020, which takes place March 8, and to truly understand the significance of Ori\u2019Zaba\u2019s commitment, McClurg said it is important to highlight the history of the international women\u2019s rights movement.<\/p>\n
