HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM HOSPITALITY NEWS
SHARING THE ULTIMATE INSIDERS VIEW OF THE HOSPITALITY AND FOOD SERVICES INDUSTRY
W elcome to the December edition of Hospitality News. My passion for the food service and hospitality industry led me to start this magazine as a venue to share and provide insight and expertise to others who share the same interests and passion. I am excited about starting this journey. I have been in the food service industry for over 40 years. I have started, managed, bought, and sold many companies, allowing me the opportunity to learn just about every aspect of the food services business. I have met many iconic people within the business and learned a great deal from each and every one of them. My drive and passion to continue to learn even more will inspire me to contribute more to this industry. When the pandemic shook the foundations of our world, and the customers we depend on settled into a “lock-down” environment, those of us in hospitality and the food service world, struggled to stay open. Our focus shifted to surviving rather than thriving. Many lost the connection to industry news and trends. As I navigated these difficult days, I promised many that as those in the industry began to emerge from their isolation, and the pandemic’s darkest days began to ebb, I would start a publication dedicated to, and for the people of the hospitality and food services industry. The magazine will provide vital information, not only to the business owners and managers, but the teams supporting them.
Hospitality News will include a calendar of events, now that live events are returning. We will be building a detailed classified section to inform those seeking career changes, along with a trading center of used equipment. We will profile top hospitality and food service industry leaders and newsmakers. We will also profile top-tier experts and vendors who have achieved high levels of success to foster inspiration to others. As we close 2021, I would like to thank the Hospitality News team who have made this publication possible through these challenging times. The team has worked hard and cohesively to bring this magazine to life. I will always welcome feedback from our readers to help build a first-class publication and make this magazine a beacon for those who seek information and inspiration. Wishing everybody a joyous holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2022.
Cordially,
