R200 Online - 23 July

After months of lockdown, imposed restrictions, active lobbying, diversification and strategizing, the time has come for the next chapter for the hospitality sector.
While businesses across the UK have now started to reopen their doors and welcome customers again, the industry is a different place to before the pandemic struck, with the future for many businesses still uncertain.

Although we at Restaurant have not been able to run our usual R200 European study tour this month, we want to still bring our community of multi-site restaurant operators together in the form of a webinar to provide a forum for discussion, analysis and the sharing of experiences and ideas to help support businesses as they look to the future.

In this webinar, we will bring together some of the leading multi-site restaurant operators to share their learnings of the past few months of lockdown, their thoughts and observations on the current state of the UK eating out sector and their plans and outlook for future. Among the topics discussed will be some of the more effective measures businesses have taken to reassure customers and entice them back to their venues; a look at the strategies behind reopening a large restaurant estate and where the challenges therein lie; the changing role of delivery in a post lockdown world, and where any opportunities of growth and expansion might lie.
