The Staff Canteen launches Front of House Networking lunches

Cara Houchen

New for 2020 and due to popular demand, The Staff Canteen will next month launch Front of House Networking Lunches.

The first lunch will be at Adam Reid at The French on February 25, and is sponsored by Lavazza, Gusbourne and Hoshizaki.

The lunch is free and open to all senior front of house staff, attendees will enjoy lunch with wines and have the opportunity to network with other industry professionals and our sponsors.

The Staff Canteen Founder, Mark Morris, said: “This is such a natural development to our highly successful Chef Networking series, which is now in its third season. The opportunity to celebrate the FOH teams with a group of selected partners, is really exciting for all the team. Customers are looking for a great dining experience and the FOH team are a vital part in this process. I feel it’s the responsibility of The Staff Canteen to put the same focus on FOH as we do on Chefs.”

We want to celebrate front of house teams as much as we celebrate chefs and offer them the same opportunities across our website, social channels and events.

If you would like the opportunity to be a part of the first lunch please get in touch with your name, job role, place of work and mobile number. Simply email: [email protected]
