How do you evaluate and improve your food-to-go proposition and performance? What is the industry best practice and what are the benchmarks around food-to-go operations that key operators work to? What are the different routes to building a successful food-to-go proposition and what are the pros and cons of each? What are the trends that leading and innovative food-to-go operators across Europe are looking to target, and what are the trends that are coming through across key European and North American markets? We're of the view that these answers are often hard to find, which is why Gavin Rothwell and Matt Cundrick have spent much of the past few weeks in various food-to-go specialists, supermarkets and coffee shops, building a #foodtogo workshop, which seeks to answer these questions, and then relate the answers and solutions back to your business. And we're delighted that this one day session is now available now as a tailored solution for your business and as an ‘open’ session, where you can book a place for £500 (ex VAT), with our next date 21 March in London. Here's a bit more about what Matt and Gavin bring: Matt is all about the operations, he’s held operational leadership roles across many leading food-to-go operators. Gavin focuses on proposition and the trends landscape, and the inspiration and innovation that will drive the successful food-to-go concepts of the future.
