The hotel sector has been pressure-testing procurement, people strategy, and guest-experience systems that restaurants can use right now. In this episode, we translate hotel-grade plays into simple, operator-ready moves any Canadian restaurant can deploy heading into 2026.

What you’ll learn:

✅ How to use purchasing discipline (and partners) to protect margin across locations
✅ Practical ways to align “sustainability that guests notice” without adding complexity
✅ Tech that actually pays back (find time, lift topline, or improve bottom line)
✅ Building a stronger talent pipeline and safer, more competitive workplaces
✅ Why partnerships beat transactions—and how to leverage them in Q4 and beyond
