Operating A Profitable Restaurant

The trickle-down effect that COVID-19 has had on restaurants has been astronomical. From to-go programs becoming the new front line of restaurants causing disposables to go through roof; to sustainability desires; inventory needs, and more; the world of paper and packaging is at the top of every operator’s radar. And if it’s not, you’re missing the mark. We know that delivery and to-go isn’t going to die down any time soon, and we know that the need for sterile gloves and items of the like are here to stay. So in a world where everyone has the same ultimate game plan, how can you stay a step ahead of the game and make sure you’re playing your cards right?   RSI New Business Development Strategist, Dave Downs, sits down with Director of Partnerships, Max Strycker; Purchasing Analyst, Catherine Reeves; and Drew Frank, Sales Manager at Western Paper, to discuss the current landscape and the future outlook on the world of purchasing in the eyes of a restaurant operator.
