Chris' expertise is invaluable," said Greg Topalian, Group VP at Reed Expo.
Cumulatively, The Barfly Group has been involved with more than 250 restaurant openings. The company offers an array of services, seminars and workshops geared towards improving a current operation or creating the foundation for a new concept.
