Which hospitality company filed the most WARN notices in 2026?

Sodexo, with 14 notices naming 2,661 workers in 5 states. Food service contractors and restaurant chains file one notice per site, so one decision can show up as many rows. By workers named, the largest is Sodexo, with 2,661 across 14 notices.

How many casino layoff notices were filed in 2026?

15 notices from casinos, card rooms and a racetrack, naming 1,710 workers in 3 states. Nevada is not among the states we cover, so its casino notices do not appear here.

Which state has the most hotel and restaurant layoff notices in 2026?

California, with 46 notices naming 3,508 workers. States that publish no industry field are matched by employer name only, so hospitality notices there may be undercounted.

Which employers count as hospitality here?

Hotels, resorts and hotel management companies, casinos, card rooms and racetracks, restaurants, restaurant groups, coffee and fast-food chains, contract food service companies such as Sodexo, Aramark and Compass Group (including their school, college and hospital cafeterias), caterers including airline caterers, airport dining operators, and cinemas, bowling centers, comedy clubs and similar entertainment venues, matched by employer name and, where the state publishes it, an accommodation, food service or gambling industry field or code (NAICS 72, 7131, 7132, 71395 or 711212). Every notice such a company files is counted, including headquarters and support offices, so Starbucks' Seattle corporate notices are included. Airline caterers and airport restaurants can also appear on the airline and airport page. Food makers, grocers, food distributors, breweries, wineries, film and game studios and fitness clubs are left out. It is a keyword match, so check each row's source link.
