The session was introduced by Scott Heim of Middleby and moderated by Michael Jones of FCSI’s Foodservice Consultant magazine. It featured the following participants:

  • Julie Byrnes, FCSI Associate, RealFood Hospitality, Strategy and Design, US

The roundtable, which you can watch below, addressed how the school foodservice sector is evolving – and why, the challenges it is currently facing in both North America and Europe, and discussed the solutions to those impacts as well as the role of the consultant in implanting positive change. Plus, it attempted to predict how the sector will change in the future.
