A HALF-DAY VIRTUAL EVENT FOR BUSY RESTAURANT EXECUTIVES
Recognizing that QSR leaders need a convenient way to exchange ideas, tips and advice with one another, the publishers of QSRweb.com and the producers of the Fast Casual Executive Summit have created #QSRNext, a half-day virtual event catering specifically to fast food brands.
Designed with busy schedules in mind, the 30-minute, back-to-back sessions will feature execs in the trenches, who will offer powerful insights on technology, marketing, operations, menu development and more.
