Steve Pettus, Managing Partner of Dickie Brennan & Co. will discuss trends in the restaurant industry affecting his three French Quarter restaurants. |
The Gotta Come Back Restaurant Experience: Trends and Tools Used by Successful Restaurateurs panel, led by LSBDC Restaurant Specialist Dianne Sclafani, will also feature speakers such as Wendy Waren, LRA VP of Communications, Steve Pettus, Managing Partner for Dickie Brennan and Co. and Jay Nix, owner of Parkway Tavern and Bakery in New Orleans.
“It was extremely important to me that the restaurant
industry be part of the conference program,” said Sclafani. “I’ve been working
with restaurants for years on developing business plans, identifying funding
sources for opening or expansion and assisting them in addressing trends in the
industry head on to help them become more profitable.”
Wendy Waren, LRA VP of Communications will discuss three trends and the impact on restaurants. |
“Meeting these demands takes time, which is limited for the
restaurateur,” said Waren. “Often times, it may result in the need to hire an
interactive service business, but in independent restaurateurs may mean using
family and existing staff to meet this demands or having the owner maintain
these aspects in addition to other tasks.”
Waren said that the three biggest trends impacting the restaurant industry today and in the future are rising food costs, attracting millennial diners and the increase in the use of technology by consumers.
