Join us for a dynamic discussion with top CFOs from the restaurant industry. Our discussion will be very relevant and insightful! CohnReznick LLP #Restaurants # Hospitality #Foodservice
The traditional role of an accounting/finance-centric executive focusing on finance, accounting and cost control is only one part of the job description in today's economy. Today’s restaurant CFO must have a voice in pricing, HR, marketing spend, restaurant development and most important of all, technology. Join moderator Mike Gottlieb of CohnReznick LLP in conversation with Steve Cirulis of Potbelly Sandwich Works, Tiffany Furman of Habit Burger & Grill and Robert L. of Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar.
