Help the restaurant industry change the planet.
With more than 1 million locations in the U.S. alone and 600+ Billion in revenue we have an amazing opportunity to affect health, and the economic structure of the human race.
It all starts with understanding the new age consumer. Technology, Social and Mobile have shifted our business landscape forever. As an industry trendspotter and founder of Fastcasual.com, QSRweb.com, and Digitalcoco.com, I have the expertise and resources to study and understand the new consumer. My goal is simple ~ "unite and ignite our business invoke change in the industry."
As a passionate producer, webpreneur, speaker, global event creator and social media mentor for the restaurant and hospitality space I can connect people, technology, governments and even nations with the story we have to tell.
Currently I'm working on the most expansive social interaction metric for the global restaurant business. Understanding how they interact with this industry from a social perspective is what will help us understand the restaurant consumer of the future.
As the author of the first book on the Fast Casual Restauarant business and how it connects with this new consumer culture, The Chipotle Effect is about the changing landscape of the American social restaurant and hospitality consumer.
