The Ozempic Effect

Session details:

Let's tackle the issue in bars & restaurants about what's not on the plate anymore. GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are quietly changing how your guests order, with users choosing smaller portions, fewer items, and skipping the appetizers, cocktails, and desserts that pad your checks.

But here's the good news: While these guests are eating less, they're also willing to pay more for the right options. And the broader healthy eating trend? It's creating opportunities across your entire guest base.

Join us for a straight-talk session on what these trends really mean for your bottom line—and how to turn them into opportunities.

We'll cover:

• Who's using GLP-1s, what they're ordering (and not ordering), and which dayparts take the biggest hit.
• Which menu tweaks actually drive traffic (and which "healthy" moves fall flat)
• Why "water only" doesn't have to kill your margins.
• Smart customization strategies that satisfy health-conscious guests without complicating your kitchen.

Leave with practical tactics you can implement Monday morning—no complete menu overhaul required.
