Embracing New Restaurants in a Stable Market

May 30, 2019

Contrary to popular belief, most new restaurants successfully make it past their first year, and in fact, the restaurant market is stable—and demand is up for better, more comprehensive coverage. Heidi Strommen, President of ProHost USA, a division of Distinguished Programs, was recently featured in a Rough Notes exclusive on specialty lines markets.

Strommen points to the issues that restaurants face and how working with a program writer that specializes in this niche can offset the risks associated with running a restaurant.
