Attendance at this year's event was close to 12,000, and the energy was electric. I was out there in Las Vegas giving two talks to the crowd... but I also had the opportunity to podcast live from the trade show floor. I did a series of lightning interviews with some vendors, sponsors, and operators in attendance.  If this episode gets you excited for next year's show, then GOOD! I'll be there and I hope to see you there as well. If you have any questions, then please reach out. It's one of my favorite trade shows of the year; an event I love returning to time and time again!  IMPORTANT LINKS: SpotOn - https://www.spoton.com/chip KickFin - https://kickfin.com/demo/ Uptown Hospitality Group - https://uptownhospitality.com/ 7Shifts - https://www.7shifts.com/restaurantstrategy Pursuit of Hoppiness - https://redmonkeydowntown.com/ Base Camp Pizza - https://basecamppizzaco.com/ Rev Ciancio - https://www.linkedin.com/in/revciancio/   ***** What would your life look like if your restaurant could generate consistent, predictable 20% profits?
