Office Hours: As Food Service Comes Back, How Has It Changed?

Office Hours returns today with a look into the state of the food service channel as a revenue and visibility outlet for food and beverage entrepreneurs.

BevNET Editor in Chief Jeff Klineman was joined by Rooted Food Sales’ Matt Cotton and Clay Lichterman of Kodiak Cakes to explore the ways the Covid-19 pandemic cut into food service opportunities and the slow road back for many institutional accounts.

A live studio audience pulled the discussion forward to include the best ways to pitch and support food service accounts and the kinds of products that are going to be in demand as restaurants, offices, universities and event venues try to rebound following almost a year of little-to-no activity.

This Office Hours video is available for viewing by all BevNET and NOSH Insiders and provides valuable advice for new and growing companies who are hoping that foodservice can bring them expanded opportunities to grow consumer awareness while supporting this hard-hit channel.
