Gain a Competitive Edge With the Help of GoogleTORONTO BALLROOMFor restaurants, the Internet has become an increasingly important tool in a

fiercely competitive industry. It’s now essential for restaurants, no matter their

size or flavour, to have a presence on the web, clearly differentiate themselves,

generate awareness and engagement with both new and existing customers.

Migration of the Brands…as West Moves East…the Landscape Is ChangingTORONTO BALLROOMThe invasion continues! Restaurant concepts grown and nurtured in western

Canada are sprouting up across Ontario and points further east. While views

differ on what the key success factors are—including brand relevancy and

distribution/franchising approach—no one can deny the success.

Join Robert Carter as he leads a discussion with David Aisenstat, Derek Doke, Tom Gaglardi, Paul Hollands and Mark Pacinda.
