With 6 targeted webinars, Off-Premises University is designed to inform and educate restaurant operators on some of the most critical off-premises issues affecting their business and the best practices to address them. Starting in September, Food On Demand will present a webinar every two weeks that features editorial-driven content with strategies and actionable takeaways to help restaurant operators build and optimize their off-premises operations.
