With specific topics such as menu recommendations, why certain spirits work better for cocktails to go and even suggestions on how to partner with vendors, Hansen speaks directly to operators of all types.

Originally, we had planned on discussing with Greg the various updates on the re-opening of our beloved hospitality and foodservice industry – both here in the U.S. and abroad. However, events of the past few days brought this past weekend’s protests across America to the top of our discussion pile. And, while we realize that there are other parts of the world who remain focused on their restaurants and bars re-opening, we do address a number of the challenges and issues that operators will be facing as they begin their re-opening process. But, certainly, you cannot be speaking about the hospitality industry in America without addressing the impact of the protests that have taken place and continue as we speak. In this week’s episode, we take on both of these challenging and difficult issues. #TabletopMatters Subscribe here: iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/seat-yourself/id1440853976?mt=2 Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/seat-yourself Google Play - https://play.google.com/music/m/Irdxqugvj64e3omfefbwgbhajoe?t=Seat_Yourself Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/1CMEk3rELOap74ui3BfXso?si=nnhoZRrqRoCtqlWxKzTd4g TuneIn - https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Dave-Turners-SEAT-YOURSELF-Podcast-p1320455/ I Heart Radio - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-seat-yourself-30927514/ In this week’s episode of Seat Yourself and our mini-series On The Frontlines, we circle back around to catch up with David Otto from Tovari to get an update on the Dutch hospitality market and where it stands as it begins to open up.
Additionally, we discuss with David the projects that Tovari has been working on during the lockdown period, including a gorgeous new catalog, a brand-new Amsterdam showroom and a concept that David is calling "100% European-Made" While the hospitality business has been quiet these past 2-3 months, the team at Tovari has been very active and we are not at all surprised. #TabletopMatters Subscribe here: iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/seat-yourself/id1440853976?mt=2 Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/seat-yourself Google Play - https://play.google.com/music/m/Irdxqugvj64e3omfefbwgbhajoe?t=Seat_Yourself Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/1CMEk3rELOap74ui3BfXso?si=nnhoZRrqRoCtqlWxKzTd4g TuneIn - https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Dave-Turners-SEAT-YOURSELF-Podcast-p1320455/ I Heart Radio - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-seat-yourself-30927514/ In this week’s episode of Seat Yourself and our mini-series On The Frontlines, our host Dave shows his agility after some last minute schedule changes forces him to fly solo for this episode.

In their conversation, Dave and Zander talk about not only the reasons of why cocktails, wine and beer should be an integral part of your takeaway & carryout program, but they also offer up specific ideas on improving the logistics for your program and increasing your program’s awareness with your target market.

Butler started in food & beverage in the UK and his area of responsibility with Hyatt spans the European continent and into India.

Some listeners may recall that Greg joined us approximately a month ago to talk about what was happening on the street in hospitality in the greater Chicago area. This week, we asked Greg to join us to talk about the various restaurant re-opening protocols being discussed as cities around the world begin to open or consider when they will reopen for business. There are lots of considerations and none of them will be either easy or fast. Then, in our second segment, we take on the issue of mom-and-pop restaurants and their possibilities for survival versus the chains. Can these individual restaurants regain success and, if so, how will the dining out experience differ from large regional and even national chains be? #TabletopMatters iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/seat-yourself/id1440853976?mt=2

For the past 30+ years, Brian has been fully engaged in the Canadian hospitality sector from a wide variety of perspectives, now as CEO of his own foodservice agency selling to dealers from coast to coast. Knowing the market from the ground up, Brian is closely tied to both dealers and operators throughout Canada and he fills us in on the current situation there. He also sheds light on issues importers can be having with their global supply chain. As always, our intention in each of our On The Frontlines conversations is to get expert commentary and thoughts on what is happening in a particular market or region of the world. And we also want to understand what these thought-leaders like Brian Wood and his colleagues at Rabco Foodservice are doing now to prepare for their eventual return to normal business conditions. Along with that…. more and more we are also discussing what that “new normal” may look like. Throughout each and every one of these conversations, it seems quite apparent that – in hospitality, whether you are a supplier, a supply chain player or an operator…we all are realizing we’re all in this situation together. That idea of #inthistogether is fast become one of the things that we love most about this challenging situation. As the world begins to pivot towards re-opening, we’d now also add passion to the common themes we have mentioned earlier of resilience, creativity and optimism that remain fully embedded with the frontline “warriors” we have been speaking to.
