You can select from sessions discussing c-store insights from a Hispanic perspective, fostering a culture of innovation, and the prospects for OTP are just a few.

You will walk away with tools, techniques and data applicable regardless of title or assigned category.
   

Directing convenience foodservice programs has its own distinctive processes compared to managing other categories. CRU uniquely provides sessions applicable for those impassioned about foodservice.

You can select sessions relating to food safety, product innovation, foodservice marketing and data interpretation. Each of our subject matter experts provides tools, techniques and valuable information for you to improve your foodservice sales and profitability.

     
   

A solid and successful business plan for any retail operation involves all members of the team – marketing, operations and everything in between. All successful business plans rely on expert implementation and execution! CRU provides courses of interest to the operations manager and anyone communicating within cross-functional teams.

Our course instructors share their expertise on topics of providing stellar and consistent customer service, hiring and developing employees in a full labor pool, navigating a complex HR legal minefield and unlocking the entrepreneur within each team member.

You will walk away from each session with new views to help you deliver on superior execution.
