At the International Foodservice Manufacturers Association #COEX2020, Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar President John Cywinski shared his thoughts on how collaborating with their suppliers is bringing new, innovative products and dining experiences to consumers. From insights and ideation to development and execution, some of the most interesting menu innovation has come from operators and partners working together to unlock growth opportunities and wow guests. Examples include Applebee’s Neighborhood Drink of the Month program and just launched IHOP Cereal Pancakes and Shakes with brands such as Capt'n Crunch. The session was hosted by PepsiCo Foodservice Chief Customer Officer Hugh Roth. Also pictured are Susannah Sellers-Ryan and Scott Balmanno of PepsiCo.

As I reflect on #RestaurantLeadershipConference this week, TEAM is what comes to mind. When you’re able to become one with your partners, it’s magical! A huge congratulations to Peter Cancro of Jersey Mike's Subs on receiving the Restaurant Leader of the Year award. I remember the day I met Peter and Mike Manzo 20+ years ago and he is a treasured partner. And can’t do it without our amazing PepsiCo Foodservice team…we just have the most incredible people and leaders. And finally, have to acknowledge the Informa team for the collaboration on #RLC24 this year on everything from operator panels to Martha Stewart. So many epic moments and valuable learning, together with our customers and industry friends! Brian R. O'Hagan Hoyt Jones Anne Fink Hugh Roth Brian Ripley Pallavi Michel Lori Perricelli Amanda A.
