Confidentiality
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING WHY CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS ARE NECESSARY Hypothetically speaking, you learn that your former chef has borrowed your well-recognized restaurant concept and opened his own eatery within proximity to yours.

Signature
What’s Your Signature? Do you have a gold mine in your F&B operations? You might if you were to avail yourself of all the collective information compiled from your frequent guests’ preferences, including catered events.

Zagat is Calling – Are You Ready? You’ve set up your F&B budget for the year based on expected inflows and outflows for operating your dining establishment at the hotel in a profitable mode. However, you relied on economic trends from previous years (lean and getting leaner) and forgot to include one of your most important expenses – marketing your operation.
Old Masters
Dining with the Old Masters: DaVinci and Rembrandt: Great Artwork, Great Food, Great Concept (for your Restaurant) Dynamic, stimulating, vivid colors – a palette to please the eye.
