As a general manager, you juggle countless challenges every day—and Bar & Restaurant Expo is here to help lighten the load. We’re bringing you the tools, insights, and connections to tackle your biggest hurdles and elevate your operation, whether you’re managing a single location or overseeing a multi-unit chain. Here’s what we’re addressing head-on:

• Labor Shortages & Retention—Let’s face it: good staff is hard to find and even harder to keep. Rising wages, burnout, and a competitive job market aren’t making it any easier. You’re left filling shifts and plugging holes—again and again.
• Cutthroat Competition—The industry’s packed, and every bar and restaurant is fighting for attention. How do you rise above the noise and keep people walking through your doors instead of the place next door?
• Rising Costs & Profitability—Costs are climbing—ingredients, booze, supplies, you name it. Meanwhile, customers still expect top-notch quality. Finding a way to keep the lights on without cutting corners? That’s no small feat.
• Keeping Up With Trends—From sustainable sourcing to tech-driven dining, consumer preferences are changing at lightning speed. Staying ahead of the curve without losing focus on daily operations can be overwhelming.
• Marketing & Branding on a Budget—You know you need to market your venue, but how do you make a big impact with a small budget? Effective, affordable strategies can feel like a moving target.
