Food and beverage (F&B) programs drive cost recovery in the parks and recreation industry.  During this session, you will learn how to build a plan for success. We will answer questions such as how we can reduce the number of third-party food vendors, the menu items that could be added to our operation, and how quickly our F&B investment will achieve an ROI. This course also explores how to develop, implement, and maintain an F&B strategic plan that increases cost recovery, raises community engagement, and enhances park user experience.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discover areas of improvement or development for current F&B operations.
  • Learn how to develop, implement, and maintain an exceptional F&B strategic plan.
