Gendered Spaces in Downtown
How gender affects the management of Downtown's restaurants
How We Got Our information
We went around and asked each restaurant or place that sells food the gender of their managerial staff. We then took note of each places owner, General Manager, Manager, Assistant Manager, and Shift Leads.
We noticed 3 types of Restaurants in Downtown Mckinney
Pubs or Meat places geared towards Men
Places operated by Men were geared to sell to men. Places like The Celt, Sugar Bacon, and Local Yocal.
Cafes geared towards Women
Cafes and lunch places had a manager staff of women. These include Snug and Spoons.
Restaurants for Everyone
These restaurants had a blend of managerial staff, and were often places for the whole family to enjoy. Think Mellow Mushroom, Hamms, and The Pantry.
Conclusion
We concluded that the managerial staff of a restaurant directly relates to the restaurants aimed customer. Men had more authoritative positions, but many restaurants were run by mostly women as well. Downtown Mckinney is predominately equal gender wise, but has different places that appeal to different people.
