Tips Are Required

join the food, beverage, and restaurant industry experts’ network

On behalf of our team at Foodie Groupie, welcome to Foodie Groupie. 110,000 restaurants closed during the pandemic. The true definition of Darwinism has never been more pertinent than NOW! We welcome your knowledge, relationship, and unselfish time to give to the rookie in the biz or to the veteran of 40 years in the biz that would like to learn new ways to better their business. In addition, bring the F&B community together from operators, to vendors to brokers, landlords, and alike.

The “Welcome to the Table” events we will be hosting, will bring value to you and your business like no other! It’s not meant to be a “happy hour”; even though we buy the first round - It’s meant to be a “consumable hour” or two (hehe) of great substantial dialogue and a few fun treats too! Come and go, as you please!

We want everyone to come away from the event with 3-4 takeaways. From a new vendor, a new idea they hadn’t thought of, a new friend for life, or in short, just a betterment of something in their life (personal or professional)!

and OH YEAH! IT’S FREE!

BETTER Together

Are you or do you know someone that might fall into one of these categories?

If so, we’d love to have them at our table! IT’S FREE

CITY EDC - PLANNING - COUNCIL

Local EDC team to bring knowledge of current projects in the market, new growth, new development pitch, and how each city may want to court a concept into their city and bring value to the Landlord or operator.

LENDERS (Commercial Only)

CRE lenders that will assist in all facets of the process (finish-out, construction, land, NNN buys, etc. - Nationally or Locally.

THE FRONT OF HOUSE

FRONT-OF-HOUSE

Derek Anthony (host)

What better way to discuss commercial real estate than with all points of contact in the same room? The value must be created and earned and Derek intends to bring that to the patrons at each “WELCOME TO THE TABLE” event!

See if you fit the mold to join such an elite group of folks in the F&B industry! WATCH VIDEO.
