Gain actionable recommendations to inform growth strategies at your convenience stores as well as original research and insights on niche and emerging markets.

Q1 Consulting is featuring an insight-packed half-day session on Aug. 9 in Chicago, outlining the latest foodservice trends.

Today’s time-starved consumers crave flexibility like never before but not at the expense of variety or quality. While traditional onsite dining can offer ambiance in a social setting, many busy diners are simply looking to eat a satisfying meal without spending extra time in preparation or retrieval i.e., by eating a delivered lunch at their desk or by having a box of dinner kits shipped to their front door.

The half-day session will be lead by Q1 Consulting’s Vice President of Consulting, Tim Powell. The day will begin with a state-of-the industry presentation, followed by research findings on key segments and a catered lunch.

This event also includes a one-hour educational session on how manufacturers can earn the first-mover advantage in these non-traditional channels presented by guest speaker Mat Mandeltort, senior vice president of foodservice for Eby-Brown.
