Where Foodservice Leaders Shape the Future

The Nest platform offers C-Suite Executives a platform for solution driven conversations, supported by a solid cadence of relevant industry updates, which I find invaluable. The peer-to-peer information exchange is helpful for navigating the ever-changing landscape in the industry, leading to rich networking with fellow industry executives.

"Having the nation’s top restaurant marketing professionals just an email away has been a valuable resource. The group is very open, honest and helpful when you are looking for a solution or in need of an experienced opinion.”

“The Nest has truly been a bright spot during the challenging season of our industry. At the essence, the Nest gets at the heart of our industry, people- connection- experience. It’s an opportunity to have grass roots discussions about challenging tech initiatives amongst peers in an open forum. The group is warm, inviting, and willing to go above and beyond to help. Members of the group openly share their knowledge and expertise which makes us collectively better. Whether it’s a question sent through email where multiple people respond in minutes or deep dives on any one topic or problem, this group has helped me be a better leader and much more prepared to handle any challenges that come my way. I’m thankful to be a part of this community."

"The Nest Program has been a fantastic way to meet like-minded executives in a closed-door environment where we can share best practices, new business idea and find leads on vendors, suppliers and even talent in this incredible industry of food service and hospitality."

"The Nest allows me to tap into IT leaders' and industry experts' thoughts on issues and initiatives that are hot in the industry. It's like the Staples easy button for CTOs. You go right to the source for decades of experience and sound advice about the topic."

"The access to the Nest’s perspective & the network of professionals in the industry has so much value. It spurs new thoughts for your business – and equally helpful sometimes, provides reassurance that you’re not alone in the challenges you’re facing."

“I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the NEST marketing group. Beyond being able to network and learn from so many great minds, it’s been a great sanity check to know that many of the challenges and questions we have are shared with others.”

"What I enjoy most about my CMO Nest group is how it connects me with restaurant CMOs across the country. We celebrate wins, offer feedback and advice, commiserate over challenges, and, most importantly, support each other. They inspire me to be better and do better. As leaders, we give so much of ourselves to our teams, so having a group that gives back to you feels incredible."

"I have the privilege of being a member of a group of leading restaurant CIOs called the Nest. Despite being competitors, these industry leaders come together to share insights, tackle common challenges, and collaborate on innovative solutions. Their commitment to supporting one another and advancing the industry as a whole demonstrates a remarkable spirit of cooperation. It's clear that they understand the value of collective knowledge, and their dedication to elevating the restaurant sector is commendable."

"I had RSVPed for one of those Nest calls, and didn’t want to do it, was very busy. But I made an obligation and joined. And it was one of the best calls I’ve ever been on. Well organized, super valuable."

"I sent a note out, had a question about [some tech, forget which], and within an hour I had 5 responses from other CIOs. You have no idea how valuable that is."
