More Guests. More Margin. Less Stress: Profitability Tactics for the Modern Operator

Running a restaurant in 2025 means wearing a dozen hats — but your bottom line doesn’t have to suffer. Join Gordon Food Service, Back of House, and the Ohio Restaurant and Hospitality Alliance for a no-fluff conversation on how to boost guest traffic and margins with tools that actually simplify operations. 

We will kick things off with a focused 20-minute download on where restaurants are leaving money on the table — and how to fix it. Then, we’ll host a live panel of GFS customers and top tech vendors to share success stories on using marketing, menu tweaks, and operational shifts to stand out and scale sustainably. Perfect for independent and multi-unit operators looking to win more customers without burning out their team.
