The National Restaurant Association reported restaurant industry sales of nearly $799 billion last year, representing almost 4% of U.S. GDP and approximately 48% of total food dollars spent in the United States.

Despite industry-wide growth for several years, restaurant operators face significant challenges in keeping pace in an environment that is changing at a much faster rate than ever before. Evolving consumer tastes and preferences, workforce constraints, and intense competition have continued in 2018, creating a deeper divide between successful and unsuccessful operators. Those that respond in a timely, effective way have an opportunity to thrive, while others struggle to keep their doors open.

Join us at ACG 101’s Restaurant Industry Panel on Wednesday, September 5^th to hear how operators are dealing with these issues, using technology to streamline their operations, and working to more efficiently acquire - and stay connected with - their target consumers. 

We will also discuss the benefits of the franchise model as a means of growth, exploring the unique challenges and opportunities that come with franchising.

 Panelists: Christopher Braun, CEO, Juice it Up; Vasili Hatziris, Founder & CEO, Malibu Restaurant Group / Malibu Eatery; and Jeff Harris, CFO of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Moss Adams Partner Justine Hunter will moderate the panel discussion; David Bonrouhi, Managing Director at Calabasas Capital, will provide the industry overview.

Moss Adams Partner Stephen Redmond, CPA will moderate the panel discussion; David Bonrouhi, Managing Director at Calabasas Capital, will provide the industry overview.

Presented by Moss Adams and Calabasas Capital, with support from Heartland Payment Systems and NGS Global.
