ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 1 hour​

Restaurant operators entered 2026 facing familiar pressures around food costs, labor and profitability. But midway through the year, the picture is shifting. Guest traffic is showing signs of recovery, staffing has returned as a top concern, and operators are finding new ways to respond to changing consumer expectations.

Grounded in Restaurant365’s 2026 Midyear State of the Restaurant Industry Survey, featuring insights from operators representing more than 10,000 restaurant locations, this webinar will explore:

• How cost, labor and traffic trends are evolving in 2026
• Where AI, digital engagement and changing consumer behavior are creating new opportunities
• How restaurant leaders are adapting their strategies for the second half of the year

Join Restaurant365 Solutions Architect Marc Cohen, Dana Noorily of The Granola Bar and Pike Howard of Felipe’s Taqueria for a data-driven look at what’s changing across the industry — and what operators should do next.
