Opening day is often too late.
By the time a new restaurant is publicly open, many supplier decisions may already have been made.
Equipment, food, beverages, coffee, POS systems, payments, furniture, insurance, technology and other suppliers are often chosen during the planning and fit-out stage.
Hospo Hunter helps your sales team get in earlier.
