ROSEMONT, Ill. – Reinhart Foodservice, L.L.C. announced today that it is launching a series of business building seminars across its divisions in order to help restaurant operators be more successful in managing their food costs, improve their operations and market their businesses. Initially, seven Reinhart divisions have scheduled seminars for 2016, with the first one taking place in Kansas City on August 22, 2016. Following that event, additional seminars will be hosted in the following Reinhart markets: Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Cedar Rapids, Springfield, Omaha and Tidewater.
While each “Manage My Restaurant” seminar will address market challenges specific to the local market, all programs will provide Reinhart’s customers with actionable insights so they can run a better business and add more to their bottom line. The seminars will be hosted by author, speaker and consultant, Tim Kirkland, who focuses on sales building, service energizing and teambuilding in the foodservice industry. His best-selling book, The Renegade Server, is used in over 20,000 restaurants, hotels, retail locations and universities worldwide.
“At Reinhart, we are committed to providing our customers with timely and innovative solutions that drive their success, and these seminars offer a key opportunity for us to provide everyone from the restaurant owner and manager to the servers with learnings, tips and more so that they can run a more successful business,” says Eric Cronert, Reinhart Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “We’ve hosted seminars with Tim Kirkland for the past five years but we’re excited to scale this offering for our customers across a wide variety of markets and over a longer period of time. The seminars are a natural extension of the tools our sales consultants provide our operators local and bring the insights and ideas shared in our Restaurant Inc magazine to life. ”
The “Manage My Restaurant” seminars will kick off with a morning session for servers as well as wait-staff and will focus on ways to increase check size and engage in sales building. The afternoon session is intended for restaurant managers as well as owners and will focus on how to increase engagement, increase sales, improve service and drive guest frequency.
