Many food service leaders are entering 2026 with ambitious plans to drive adoption and ROI from technology investments, operational shifts, and growth initiatives. But project plans alone aren’t enough. Without a shared approach to leading change, resistance shows up quietly—slowing adoption, fragmenting execution, and stalling momentum just when agility matters most.

Join us for a focused Lunch & Learn on the mindset and teaming shifts food service leaders must make to move from “change on paper” to change that actually sticks—across kitchens, operations, and leadership teams.

We’ll discuss:

• Why clear plans and strong communication still fall short of driving adoption—and what’s happening beneath the surface

• Three early warning signs resistance is undermining results, even when initiatives appear “on track”

• Three essential leadership moves that accelerate change readiness and help teams respond faster to new opportunities

Come ready for an engaging, practical conversation with peers who are navigating real-world change. Expect candid insight, applicable takeaways, and a few “we needed to hear that” moments.

This session is designed for food service executives and senior leaders responsible for enterprise change, technology adoption, operational excellence, and team performance.
