Three hugely experienced foodservice professionals came together for this virtual panel session, supported by IBEX, to discuss challenges and opportunities in cooking, at present and in the future.
Leading FCSI The Americas foodservice consultant Tarah Schroeder joined Cathy Schiltz, owner operator of independent coffee shop Glenview Coffee Grind; and Charlie Pantelakos, IBEX business unit manager, for this talk chaired by Tina Nielsen, editor of FCSI’s Foodservice Consultant magazine.

- Dealing with unexpected events with agility and innovation
- How even the smallest spaces can incorporate a satisfying menu with the right foodservice equipment
- Dealing with challenges, such as rising costs, supply chain delays and labor shortages
