This was the best presented, most cohesive and informative seminar I've ever attended. The information was correlated beautifully and delivered enthusiastically. Your forms are going to save me so much work. I never give all 5’s but you’ve earned it.

All the information provided is relevant to our co-op's current operations. This was an eye-opening experience that many co-ops are working with the same challenges. It was great to work with peers from across the country.

DeliOps is great for content, and for real life examples and networking. Being new to retail and delis, but not to foodservice, I'm amazed at how much there is to learn. Thanks for closing the gap.
