As the industry adapts to the constant change from two years of restrictions and shortages, a pair of iconic brands have treated foodservice decision makers to an offer of focus for what many have termed the “new normal”.
L Sashin and Associates and Total Food Service (TFS) host a series of virtual breakfast sessions on the web. “Our goal is to help the restaurant and foodservice industry take advantage of the perspective that we have been able to gain in working with clients in a wide range of industry,” noted Larry Sashin, President of L. Sashin and Associates. The long time NYC resident and his partner Bob Heiss have built a national reputation for the consulting work they have done with small to medium sized businesses in food and beverage as well as nutrition. Heiss brings a unique skill set with his work over two decades operating the Sandler Sales operation in Metro New York.
“We are so excited to bring L. Sashin’s years on insight to our restaurant and foodservice professional readers,” noted Fred Klashman, co-publisher of Total Food Service (TFS). For the past 30 years, Klashman has published TFS, which began as a Metro New York restaurant and foodservice trade publication. It has grown to be among the nation’s leading B2B outlets with coverage of both the restaurant, business, and institution marketplaces. “We are thrilled to be able to bring such a wide diversity of topics to our readers in such a dynamic format,” Klashman noted.
The Virtual Breakfast Session (VBS), produced by Total Food Service and L. Sashin & Associates, is a live, one-hour, open mic roundtable discussion that is focused on the conditions, events and trends that drive the food business and the companies that form the supply chain to the consumer. “No one has all the answers, but together we can come up with some great solutions,” Sashin explained. “Our goal is for our attendees to get in on the conversation. Your experience with staff, vendors, providers, customers, and peers is valuable. Share it and listen to how others have managed matters. Ask questions and express your concerns. This is not a shut-up-and-listen event. You have a place at the roundtable and are part of a free-flowing conversation. To participate, you have direct communication with a dedicated Attendee Representative on chat ready to ask and answer your in-the-moment questions during the call. What does the landscape look like in the next month or three or six? What will help the industry survive? What’s dead and gone forever? And what will prepare us for the NEXT NORMAL. This year, one thing is certain: business conditions and trends are constantly changing and so must we.”
