On May 13th, we gathered over one hundred industry professionals
at Boston's City Winery in celebration of the 30th anniversary
of Restaurant Trends. Restaurant operators, lawyers, bankers,
brokers, and more packed the Haymarket Lounge and were treated to
two hours of valuable insights on topics such as innovation,
development, and expansion trends driving success in the restaurant
and hospitality space.
Highlights included a macroeconomic and restaurant outlook
presentation by Christopher Shaker, CPA (RSM US LLP), a dynamic
panel conversation moderated by Nicole Estaphan (WCVB Channel
5's Chronicle) and featuring Kristin Clough Canty (Woods Hill
Table, Woods Hill Pier 4, Adelita), Eli Feldman (Shy Bird and
Branch Line), Jonathan Martin (Newmark), and Jordan Warshaw (The
Noannet Group), who discussed everything from AI in the restaurant
world, to the benefits and challenges of sustainability, and some
of the biggest challenges that come up in developing a hotel.
