    Food and Drink is all about best practices: in customer focus, in supply chain management, in productivity, in food safety and in marketing. You might operate a successful chain of restaurants, but you need to know how processors are improving their distribution networks. Or, you might manufacture food or beverages, but you need to know how restaurant patrons’ tastes are changing. Food and Drink is the only magazine that can facilitate this sort of “cross-table” conversation.
