2018 International Pizza Expo

Panel Discussion: How to Get a Healthy Relationship With Your Distributor (Room S221)

Whether you are just opening a restaurant, redefining your concept or updating your menu, your distributor plays a key role in your success. How can this affiliation be mutually beneficial? Most importantly, are your needs being met? The panel will discuss food supply, broad-line versus specialty distributors, marketing materials, menu engineering, food cost — all through the lens of distributor relations. Queries from the audience also will be fielded by Expo veteran speakers Dan Collier (PizzaMan Dan’s, Ventura, CA), Mike Bausch (Andolini’s, Tulsa) and Brittany Saxton (Six Hundred Downtown, Bellefontaine, OH). Moderated by Scott Anthony (Punxsy Pizza, Punxsutawney, PA).
