Restaurant Catering Workshop

Oct. 6-7, 2026, Arlington, Texas

The Restaurant Catering Workshop is a hands-on event that equips restaurant operators with the tools and strategies needed to build a winning catering operation.

Off-premises and corporate catering are the fastest-growing revenue streams in hospitality, which is why The Restaurant Catering Workshop brings together an intimate room of multi-unit executives actively building and upgrading their catering operations. Sponsoring puts your packaging, technology or logistics solution directly in front of buyers ready to scale.

Sponsoring The Restaurant Catering Workshop offers companies like yours a unique opportunity to connect with operators eager to expand their catering business. This event attracts decision-makers looking for solutions in technology, packaging, delivery, and food service, making it the ideal platform to showcase products and services that can help them scale.

With direct access to engaged attendees, brand visibility in a targeted market, and networking opportunities with industry leaders, sponsorship provides a high-impact way to generate leads and establish thought leadership in the growing off-premise dining sector.
