The cost-cutting measures that saved the industry from what PricewaterhouseCoopers says would have been a decrease of $1.3 billion in 2002 profits includes: cutting jobs; reducing employees' hours; limiting serving hours in restaurants and reducing the number of restaurants; cutting back on service-oriented jobs such as spa attendants, doormen and concierges; and forming employee teams to brainstorm cost-saving strategies.
