NOLAN EVENTS

Restaurant Development Concept Fair – Tuesday, December 10, 1-3 pm in the Atrium
Eleven student teams from the Restaurant Development class (HADM 4510/5510) will present/pitch the restaurant concepts they have been developing for the Ithaca area. Their goal is simple… solicit feedback and “investment” from peers and industry experts.
Come rub shoulders with industry investors/experts and take the opportunity to become a restaurant “investor” yourself. Listen, ask questions, provide feedback, and then “invest”. The amount of “investment” each group receives for their concept factors (to a small degree) into their project grade. “Investment” details will be provided at the event.
