SIGNATURE SERIES: The Sweet Spot: How to Manage Food & Beverage in a Down Economy
In one of the most challenging economic environments in recent history, casinos must redefine the food and beverage value proposition. How does an F&B or gaming executive develop an effective plan to deal with these high-pressure times? Furthermore, will these changes ultimately streamline us for the future or prove to be problematic in a stable economy? At this session, leading operators will discuss how they are finding innovative ways to solve these problems, including managing labor and product costs, tweaking pricing strategies, menu engineering, focused marketing and harnessing technology.
