LET’S TALK

OPERATOR TO OPERATOR

Rapid-Fire Sessions • No Sales Pitches • Operators Only

RESERVE SEAT

LET’S LEVEL UP TOGETHER.

The journey for operators with 2-20 units is a tough one. Where do you turn for advice? Who do you talk to when you are not one of the “big guys” in the industry? Savory is investing into YOU by giving you tips of the trade on the journey from 2 units to 20.

THE ONLY CONFERENCE BY OPERATORS, FOR OPERATORS.

Every year, we discuss important topics and current trends such as how to deal with supply chain shortages, labor challenges, building a core team, raising capital and more. This event is for restaurant owners and operators ONLY. We’re talking rapid-fire sessions, no vendor booths, and absolutely no sales pitches. And because we respect your time — Restaurantology is ONE. DAY. ONLY.

“

The restaurant industry is hard enough, so to get a little glimpse of knowledge, little nuggets, has been extremely helpful
Chase WardropSwig

“

This is our third year in a row. We learn a lot every time we come out here about supply chain, marketing, operations, h.r., everything.
Justin SmithBatch and Box

“

For us to come to this workshop for free and receive all this information and all these specialists, it's just been a wealth of knowledge that's well worth our time.
Meghann SmithBatch and Box

“

I've been to quite a bit of conferences, but not one that basically everyone in here is ultimately a peer.

“

Came out last year not knowing anybody and it was such an amazing experience. This year I brought my whole team.

Coming to Restaurantology is giving us that insight on what mistakes to avoid as we start to go from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.
