With feedback from the ICCA board of directors, we have decided to take a hiatus from our current webinar schedule until September.  The factors leading to this include the very busy schedules members have now as the industry is ramping up to normal volumes and the fact that we are beginning to run live events again.  Our plan is to create and organize all of the upcoming events for both associations before the end of the year.  We are committed to get back to networking and education for both members and sponsors. It is exciting to be running our first event from June 26 – 29th in Providence, Rhode Island.  More details are in the events section of our website.
The last webinar featured one of the current competitors on the Top Chef season that is still airing.

They are serving over 400 pounds of chicken per day in this 1500 square food restaurant and it is takeout only at the moment.  You will learn many new techniques about using traditional Japanese flavors that the masses are craving. He also speaks about his unique way to use soy and fish sauce that he learned during his five year stint in a Michelin Star restaurant in Japan. Claire Conaghan, Content Team Group Manager from Datassential talks about their new “Inspiration Reports” on comfort, multi-ethnic & Asian foods.

Below are the videos from our first two GCIA/ICCA webinars in this new 2021 series that featured new menu trends and labor saving best practices. Other posts included videos from all webinars we created since April 2020. The keynote speakers on our last video were the following: With nearly 17 years of experience working in the Senate Democratic Leadership, Stacy Rich joined the Cornerstone team as a principal in January 2020 after serving as the leadership staff director for Sen. Patty Murray’s (D-WA) office. Stacy has been at the center of all major policy debates for nearly two decades, serving as Sen. Murray’s liaison to the Senate Democratic Leader, Democratic Whip, other Senate/House leadership teams, supporting the Senator’s work as Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee. She also played key roles supporting Sen. Murray’s work in leading the caucus to successfully passing landmark pieces of legislation including the Affordable Care Act and the Every Student Succeed Act (ESSA) among others. She talked about the agenda for this year, the challenges and opportunities for labor, as well as discuss the Covid-19 response and relief and how it effects the foodservice industry. Jack Li, Haiku Master at Datassential, and his team presented the next generation LTO trends and solutions for food manufacturers and GCIA Members with a focus on automation and robotics. Alex Sadowski, concept chef at Twin Peaks, discussed the challenges our industry faces with regards to labor issues. They have successfully accepted the challenge and right now, because of cutting items and SKUs, they have been able to reduce labor from 18% to 25%. This is a massive cut compared to 2019 and honestly is lower than they would like. Another factor is one our entire industry is facing today and will in the short future – a hard time re-staffing in a lot of locations due to stimulus and other economic effects. They have a really big gap in restaurant size and sales volume, but the larger stores have reduced labor by 200+ hours a week. These best practices are something every member in our associations can benefit from.

ICCA Culinary Immersions are a deep dive into the food and beverage scene of the best culinary destinations in the USA and, in this case, North America.  For the first time we selected Toronto as a destination and it ended up being one of the most educational and impressive events ever.  Here is a recap of the activities through the voices of our members who received the education of a lifetime:

Twice a year we create ICCA Culinary Immersions where 15 members and five sponsors take a deep dive into a major culinary destination in North America.  These events have taken us to Chicago, Philadelphia, Vancouver and this ICCA Culinary Immersion that recently took place in Austin, Texas.  Just below are the other videos recapping the member experience at our events including on ICCA Culinary Immersion that was expanded to take in numerous cities in one state – ALASKA:
