QSR magazine announced the launch of a new webinar series designed to support quick-service and fast-casual restaurant operators through the economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Titled “QSR Considers,” the new webinar series features panel conversations with industry experts covering a variety of pandemic-related topics. Moderated by QSR editor Sam Oches, each panel will provide some practical advice for operators looking to boost their sales, expand their reach, and fortify their team through the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

“Restaurant professionals today need as much information as possible to help them through this season, and practical tips and strategies are especially valuable for keeping the lights on, keeping your team employed, and providing a great experience for your customers,” Oches says. “We’re all in this together as an industry, and we can all lend a hand to each other by sharing our unique perspectives.”

The first in the “QSR Considers” series will run on Thursday, May 14, at 2 p.m. EST. The premier conversation, “How to Innovate in Off-Premises,” features three industry experts discussing outside-the-box ideas for thriving with an off-premises business model: Geoff Alexander, president of Wow Bao; Hagop Giragossian, cofounder and partner of Dog Haus; and Gary Stibel, CEO of the New England Consulting Group.
