Hey Appleton - we're coming to you! Running a restaurant means you don't have time to travel to the industry. So we flipped the script.

The Restaurant Resource & Products Roadshow is making THREE stops across Wisconsin this year, and Appleton is up first on October 27 at Pullmans At Trolley Square. Save the date!

This isn't a conference. It's not your typical trade show. It's a 5-hour industry pop-up built specifically for busy restaurant and hospitality pros, and it's coming straight to your backyard. Vendor showcase, industry-specific workshops, hands-on product training & face time with suppliers is coming your way. wirestaurant.org/roadshow-attendee.html
