EP36: Part 1 Independently Owned Restaurants Series

Independent restaurants offer unique dining experiences, such as farm-to-table meals or craft cocktails. But they also face unique challenges that are far different than those of large restaurant chains.

Offering solutions to the difficulties that independents face, may mean the difference between a win or loss for both sales and marketers in the food service industry.

What are the biggest challenges of independent restaurant operators? How has the pandemic changed their business? How can suppliers, sales and marketers deliver better support? 

Hear the answers to these questions—and more—from Jess Edmonds, Catering Director & Partner at Spice Hospitality Group, on this episode of Lead(er) Generation.
