The role of a night manager is not a one-size-fits-all. A night manager’s role varies depending upon a city’s nightlife and social economy. Allison stresses that a nighttime manager should recognize the value of partnerships and communication to serve as an asset to government, hospitality business operators and the community. COVID-19 has exponentially increased the work of night managers. With ever-changing regulations for public health, it is essential that there be a point of contact to help businesses adapt, understand and be compliant to the new changes. Night managers have served in this role, acting like a hub in the wheel to build connection and share resources. Although there is no telling when the pandemic will subside, Allison is certain that there will always be a need for a “third place” provided by social venues. Current consumer behavior demonstrates that people are more likely to stay close to home, but as more social options become available, social districts may be restored as regional, national and global tourism destinations.
