Festival Pavilion, Conference Center, Firehouse & Building C
If you have ever dreamed of owning a restaurant or are living that dream right now, Five Star Restaurant Consultants and Fort Mason Center have the perfect event for you. Restaurant Bootcamp takes place in the Festival Pavilion, Conference Center, Firehouse, and Building C on May 13 with essential seminars, an innovation expo, and a stimulating panel discussion on how to generate multimedia buzz for your eatery.
San Francisco is known for its fine restaurants, which is why this stellar event also counts the San Francisco Small Business Development Center among its sponsors. However, starting and running a successful restaurant can be a tricky proposition for newcomers to the field. Even veteran restaurateurs face big challenges in finding the perfect location and concept and following through on all the details.
Fortunately, Restaurant Bootcamp is here to help with valuable Basic Training Seminars led by industry pros on topics such as financing, purchasing the ideal dining spot, negotiating leases, acing city permits, eco-friendly green design, and creating a trendy, popular (and profitable) cocktail lounge. All seminars happen in the beautiful Conference Center with its inspiring views of San Francisco Bay.
The final seminar on building a hot brand through inventive logos and identity awareness is the provocative appetizer before the main course — the Create the Buzz public relations panel and networking reception in the Festival Pavilion. During the panel, Industry PR mavens and media experts from local station KGO and 7X7 Magazine contribute exciting insights to kick off an informative cocktail hour with product and service demonstrations.
For more seasoned restaurant players, the Elite Training Seminars in the Firehouse and Building C offer advanced tips on bookkeeping, hiring and retaining fantastic staff, and forging memorable wine and sake lists to complement your menus. Five Star Consultants estimates that close to 100 exhibitors are bringing the latest and the greatest restaurant products and services to the Innovation Expo in the Festival Pavilion.
With so much to see and do at Restaurant Bootcamp, plan your day carefully to make the most of this groundbreaking event. Get the details from the May 13 calendar listing and visit www.restaurantbootcamp.com and www.fivestarconsultants.net for more information.
