A spot on the local TV news or a feature in your hometown newspaper can put you in front of thousands of potential new customers. But the media probably won’t come to you. You will have to reach out to them—and keep on reaching out until you get somewhere. In this webinar, you’ll learn what reporters, food writers and bloggers are looking for in a great story, how to coax them into your restaurant without pestering them, even how to get them personally involved in contests and promotions that will guarantee positive coverage. From using social media to grab journalists’ attention in an engaging, light-hearted way to live on-air cooking demos and pizza-making lessons, our experts will teach you how to become a media darling without shelling out your hard-earned money on advertising.

It's hard to believe that in less than four weeks the Pizza Power Forum, hosted by PMQ Pizza, will kick off. We've been working tirelessly on this event since last fall, and it's been both a beautiful and hectic process. There was a time when we worried we wouldn't be able to recruit speakers. That proved rather silly—we've put together such an impressive lineup of pizza people (I encourage you to check it out here: https://lnkd.in/g3udiTA4). Then we worried nobody would register—that feeling gets further away each time somebody registers and a confirmation email hits my inbox. Each new registration triggers an adrenaline rush. I think it's my body saying: this is real. And it's going to be awesome. Hope you'll join us. https://lnkd.in/e3NfbeMH

For better or worse, Millennials and Gen Z grew up in a different world. Many (although certainly not all) are less motivated by money than by a commitment to certain deeply held values and their own personal growth. Simply put, they don’t want to hate their job or live anxiously from paycheck to paycheck. For pizzeria owners, that means paying a competitive wage probably isn’t enough. We’ll talk to dynamic pizza industry leaders who are forging new paths to success by creating a corporate culture where young people can grow, thrive and feel like they’re making both a real contribution to the business and a positive difference in other people’s lives. These operators will share their own tips for finding the brightest, most personable employees, discuss the perks and benefits that younger workers are looking for, and explain how they motivate their staff to be their best selves on the job.
