The Review is a collaborative effort between CWB Franchise Finance, fsSTRATEGY, and The NPD Group Canada.
Session # 1
The Foodservice State of the Nation
The restaurant industry has navigated through unprecedented times over the last two years. As we dare to enter a state of 'back to normal' we cannot ignore the disruption and innovation that is unfolding in the industry. What is the current state of the foodservice industry and what does the future look like post-pandemic, and in these volatile economic times?
Join us as we kick-off the 12th annual Canadian Restaurant Investment & Leadership Summit with the Foodservice State of the Nation presentation.

Session # 3
Hot Topic Panel Discussion
What is the Foodservice industry of tomorrow going to look like? The entire industry is being disrupted from all angles including labour, technology, the economy, supply chain and consumer behaviour. In 2022, it is hard to talk about one emerging trend or hot topic the industry is facing; a holistic overview of all the trends, obstacles and innovations that are erupting, paint a much better picture of exactly where the industry may be headed.
Join our discussion on the hot topics trending in the industry to hear operators, tech experts, and industry leaders discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Foodservice.
