Description


Join us for ORHA's Canton Community Dish in partnership with Visit Canton!
This is an interactive, facilitated, professional development event designed specifically for restaurant and hospitality operators. Hosted at Canton gem Gervasi Vineyard, this event brings operators together with trusted industry partners and community stakeholders to discuss current industry trends, operational challenges, and practical solutions that support your business goals.
We will begin with a welcome, quick talk, and Q&A from Gervasi's own founder and CEO, Scott Swaldo! An incredible public speaker and person, you will not want to miss the opportunity to hear him speak.
Then, through guided conversation and collaborative Table Talks, operators will have the opportunity to reflect on what's showing up in their day-to-day operations, learn from peers facing similar seasonal pressures, and explore resources that can help them navigate peak season with confidence. Participants will leave feeling prepared for the busy season ahead, equipped with new relationships, insightful perspectives, and access to support systems aligned with their unique operations.
All restaurant/hospitality operators from Canton, Akron and neighboring cities are welcome! Light bites and refreshments provided by our partners and friends at Visit Canton. Join us at The Still House directly following- first drink is on us!
We look forward to seeing you there.
