RESTAURANT SOS – STANDOUT OR STALL
The UK’s restaurant sector is facing an unprecedented period of change that will reshape the industry. For many, it’s a make or break time, with operators large and small facing rising costs and intensifying competition. Additional pressure includes the growth in importance of technology and an increasing fight to recruit and engage a new generation of employees.
How can you make sure that your restaurant operation is a cut above its competitors? An enticing menu is just the start. During an inspirational day of insight, we will explore how to enhance the eating out experience.
This year’s conference will draw on expertise and insight from both inside and outside the industry to provide solutions to these issues and a road map for the future of the market.
