Guest Services, Inc.’s annual Food Show returned this year with record engagement and exceptionally positive feedback from vendors and employees alike. The event highlighted our company’s continued commitment to collaboration, innovation, and team development within our food and hospitality operations.
Reflecting on the event’s success, CEO Nico Foris shared his appreciation for the collaboration and partnership that make the annual Food Show possible.
“We are truly grateful for our great vendor partners who play such an important role in supporting all that we do to deliver quality products and the highest level of hospitality excellence to our clients. The Food Show serves as a wonderful opportunity to connect and engage with our culinarians, managers, and team members, fostering collaboration and innovation across all areas of our business. Together, we continue to grow as a team and strengthen our ability to uphold and advance Guest Services’ mission every day.”
This year’s Food Show welcomed ten new vendors and introduced exciting new features, including exclusive event-only pricing on smallwares and kitchen equipment, and raffle prizes for corporate employees and district managers. Prior to the event, a focused training session was held at the corporate office, setting the stage for stronger connections and more productive conversations between vendors and teams.
One of the standout moments came from a note shared by the Vice President of Acme Paper & Supply Co., who commended the event’s success:
“We felt it was the strongest show we have participated in with GSI in a long time, and your team’s presence and engagement with our manufacturer partners was a big part of that success. The energy and interest you shared with your group helped create meaningful conversations with our partners. We truly appreciate the opportunity to work together and are excited about the opportunities that can grow from yesterday’s efforts.”
