We're Heading to the Fast Casual Executive Summit to Learn and Connect (and Eat, of Course!)

by GR Chair

At Grand Rapids Chair, we love to connect with other restaurant leaders so we can learn and grow together. This year, we are proud to be partnering as a sponsor for the Fast Casual Executive Summit in Dana Point, California on October 9-11th. 

This exciting event is an opportunity for us to engage in the many interactive sessions about leading industry topics and concerns. And this year, we’re sponsoring the massage chairs, so if you need a break and a little R&R in-between sessions, we’re there to help!

In true Grand Rapids Chair form, we also are making plans to spend some time experiencing some unique places to eat where we can indulge in fantastic food while also being inspired by great restaurant designs. Here are some of the places we want to check out while we’re there:

Two Left Forks: Traditional with a Californian Twist (featured photo)
Why we want to see it: We love seeing new and exciting restaurant design concepts, and this one looks like it’s going to deliver just that. “We’ve designed this entire concept around being the go-to neighborhood restaurant destination that welcomes you with familiar warmth,” says the owner.

The Harbor Grill: Seafood
Why we want to see it: This award-winning restaurant has a solid reputation of offering a large variety of the freshest seafood around, all in a fun and inviting atmosphere.

StillWater Spirits & Sounds: American
Why we want to see it: Using sustainable and locally-sourced produce, we know things are going to be tasty. And, they’ve created a pre-prohibition theme throughout the space that we can wait to experience first-hand.
