GASTRONOMICALLY YOURS
By Andrew Greene
My Dad, Paul who spent 50 years in procurement, tells me, “You don’t get what you deserve you get what you negotiate for”. My role is not to make this publication about me but deliver for you. I am here help others be seen and heard. We will use a back page each edition to highlight “Star Items”— of the people, ideas and developments that deserve attention. I will also help partners find resources to solve problems, negotiate better costs, or make meaningful connections to grow sales. Through a finance term, that CFO’s love, compounded annual growth rate (CAGR). For anyone who needs support—whether a mentor, a listener, or a mental ‑ health resource—Hospitality News will help point you toward someone who cares. And for businesses navigating growth or hardship, our expanded Hospitality Edge events and supplier directory will offer trusted partners who care and are in a position to help. I believe in family, mentoring, hard work, vocational education, community service and giving the next generation a hand up. If you meet someone who should be recognized, connected or celebrated, keep us in mind as a resource. Sometimes the most meaningful contribution is simply making an introduction.
Thanks again to my family and to you the audience for sharing in this exciting movement, I look forward to seeing you at future events, hearing about your WINS and reading your good news!
