Virtual Breakfast Session #60: Long COVID: The Foodservice World Since The Pandemic
47 Min, 19 Sec · By Total Food Service
Anyone alive is aware of what the pandemic did to the supply chain. Before COVID, everything was readily available, you had a choice of buying from competing producers, interest rates were low and prices were manageable. And then the pandemic not only cut into our population but is severed that flow of abundance we Americans had taken for granted for generations. Store shelves were empty. The labor supply dried up and prices skyrocketed. Now 4 years later things seem to have come back to what we recognize, but has it? The new reality is that no matter how much restaurants and supermarkets look pre-pandemic, there’s a seismographic change happening to the places we took for granted.

Are you Long COVID fatigued? Our panel isn’t. They have figured out ways to succeed in a everchanging business environment. So, join us on May 1st as we discuss the ins and outs of the seismograph shift in foodservice. Join the conversation as we discuss how we’ve rebuilt, what and who wins and what and who became a casualty.
Do want to know more or have a question on this subject? Here’s your chance to take part in the conversation. Pertinent questions or points posted on the chat feature on Zoom will be answered or addressed in “Realtime” so you can become part of the roundtable.
Your cost is just time, what you get in return can be immeasurable. Remember to register. Like last year’s trends, the tickets may be gone tomorrow.
