A survey was developed and posted online on the “MacEwan Used Book Exchange” Facebook page and “Harts Team” WhatsApp chat. The survey consisted of 12 questions about mental health in the restaurant industry and demographic information and was open to participants from October 22, 2021, until November 5, 2021.

The study was made to be an unobtrusive analysis and only asked for anonymous feedback. Anonymity was critical to ensure that no participants felt anxious about giving answers that could result in social or economic distress if made public. Google Forms was the tool used to administer the study.
