Fast Delivery: Barbies On Mission, An Important Gift And Succession Is Getting Ready

Fast Delivery: Barbies On Mission, An Important Gift And Succession Is Getting Ready

In this new edition of Fast Delivery, you'll learn more about Barbies 'expansion plans, Cosmos' $ 25,000 donation, and the development of emerging foodservice.

First, Barbies restaurants have the wind in their sails. Expansion projects to confirm its place in the family foodservice industry in the province are jostling. In five years, the chain will grow from 11 to 25 restaurants. The current concept of big plates, good food and good time with family will change somewhat. Emphasis will be placed on the atmosphere at once chic and sporty and on the decor, revamped and modernized.

Then the Cosmos restaurants in Quebec City and Lévis donated $ 25,000 to the Le Grenier food counter following the benefit cocktail held a few weeks ago. The organization aims to reduce food insecurity in the National Capital Region.

Finally, students currently enrolled at the Quebec Institute of Tourism and Hospitality (ITHQ) are their last weeks of classes before flying to Europe and attending courses in starred restaurants. It is by looking for experience, touching products and being in contact with people that the cook develops. The thirst for learning and the need to improve oneself are the main reasons for future leaders to join the ITHQ.
