I am currently in Atlanta at meetings but am really looking forward to seeing all of you at Food On Demand next week, for those of you that are going.  You do realize we will be in Vegas during Cinco de Mayo, right?  It is a good thing restaurant people don’t like to party and have a good time otherwise we would be in trouble!  Moving on….

While I was at RLC recently, I had a chance to sit down with Rev. David “Rev” Ciancio is a New York City restaurant owner and knows exactly how hard it is to operate and brand a hospitality business.  He is a hospitality marketing consultant, customer and technology evangelist at Branded Strategic Hospitality,  with more than 20 years experience in B2B digital marketing and business development, specializing in hospitality marketing, content, local SEO, reputation management and influencer marketing. He helps technology companies, brands and restaurants to acquire and retain customers.

Rev is known as an “expert burger taster,” and believes that Pizza is a religion.     What a fun guy to hang around.  As you could tell, he has a pretty strong passion for what he does and how he does it.  He really takes guest data to the next level.  And you know what, he is a curious soul and you never know where you will see him next and what restaurant he might be recording his next Instagram or TikTok video at.  Keep your eye out for him, he is everywhere!
