Join Rick Braa, Arnold Shain and Washington Hospitality Association President & CEO Anthony Anton for this webinar on increasing traffic to your establishment.

Wages are going up around the state. The most effective way to fight the inflationary effect of those wage increases is to drive more traffic to your restaurant to increase guest counts while minimizing price increases.

This webinar will provide restaurant operators with fresh ideas and techniques for increasing profitability, including guidance on developing goals and objectives, building a plan and timeline, and holding colleagues accountable to the plan.

Rick Braa is CEO of AMP Services, which delivers restaurant accounting solutions and hospitality consulting services that improve your business and professional operations at every level.

Arnold Shain is the founder of Restaurant Group, Inc. and is known as an “idea man.” His strong suits are concept development, branding and restaurant “rescues.”
