Calling all restaurants! We’re on a mission to lower the barriers to success for food startups, and boy have we got an opportunity for you. Today, we’re psyched to announce the launch our new restaurant startup bootcamp The Power of Brand: Growing Your Restaurant, along with a very special offer from our friends at ShopKeep.

Learn How to Use Brand to Grow Your Restaurant Business

Taught by former Union Square Hospitality Group CMO Felicia Stingone, this first-of-its-kind bootcamp will teach restaurants how to use brand as a business tool to strengthen your restaurant marketing, operations and culture. By the end of the day, you will define your brand and develop a brand framework to drive smarter, faster business decision-making, such as whether to open a new restaurant, publish a cookbook or pursue licensing opportunities. The day will culminate with an intimate discussion with industry heavyweights, including Danny Meyer, Founder and CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, Richard Coraine, Senior Managing Partner, Business Development and Consulting at Union Square Hospitality Group and other special guests to be announced shortly.
