MARKETING 101
 |
|
|
James Camacho, FCSI |
Marketing 101 states that if you are within 3 feet of someone you should be marketing. Marketing 102 states that you must be marketing using social media; Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and your website. Along with what you personally do to promote your business, FCSI TA is also here to help you market yourself and your company.
In addition to the many foodservice tradeshows that FCSI attends throughout the entire TA division, we have recently launched the Serving Up Solutions video series. This is not only an opportunity to showcase FCSI TA members, but also an opportunity to showcase FCSI to our clients and the foodservice industry. Hopefully you have seen the Serving Up Solutions videos that FCSI has produced. The
first video highlighted, Scott Reitano, FCSI,
the second, Joe Shumaker, FCSI.
The latest video, just released this week, features Dr. Juan Martinez, FCSI. Not only was I delighted to see that Juan was featured, but also that it is in Spanish. FCSI TA stretches from Alaska to Chile and I am glad to see that The Americas will continue to grow by reaching out to future members and clients throughout the entire division. There are many more great videos planned for this year including two in Portuguese featuring Brazilian members Raoni Saade and Nathalia Sifuentes.
FCSI is looking for members who would like to present a subject for an upcoming video. This would be a chance to not only get in front of people in the foodservice industry, but also to get in front of potential clients. Members often ask 'what can FCSI do for me?'. Serving Up Solutions is an exciting new way that FCSI can help you! The Division has been spending time and money to produce high quality, informative videos directed to our clients, providing you with the opportunity to take advantage of marketing rule 102. Please contact Director of Marketing and Communications, Stacy Berry at
stacy@fcsi.org if you would like to take advantage of this opportunity.
I look forward to talking to you soon.
All my best,
James

C4EC - COMMITTEE FOR EMERGING CONSULTANTS
Meet New Member Jason Revalee

Jason Revalee |
I started working in restaurants when I was 15 and quickly developed a passion for food and hospitality. There is no greater gift than a fine meal shared among those you love. While I never lost my love of cooking for others, the work environment of restaurants can be a grind. I grew tired of the long and often opposing hours.
I decided early on that I wanted to design restaurants and residential kitchens. After completing a bachelor's degree in interior design, I spent 3 years working in the Chicago Merchandise Mart, cutting my teeth on residential kitchen design. In 2005, I opened my first design firm focused on residential kitchens, and five years later I won an ASID Illinois Design Excellence Award for my firm's work.
In 2010 I moved home to Cincinnati and began designing commercial kitchens and restaurants for the F.G. Schaefer Company. I went back to culinary school and received a culinary arts, sommelier, and serve safe certificate. I also became a Certified Foodservice Professional. In 2015 I reopened my design firm with a focus on commercial kitchen and restaurant design.
I won two competitions in college for sustainable design, another passion of mine. Since then I have been frustrated by the slow rate of adopting sustainable practices in restaurants. With a reasonable probability of failure across the industry and relatively high cost of entry I understand the dynamics working against change.
Of course change finds all of us in life. In 2004 I was diagnosed with a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa which has turned my vision into swiss cheese. Great in some places and missing in others. It took me a while to realize this as a super power that gives me a unique perspective on design, specifically on my ability to design for wellness. Necessarily having to find solutions for myself, I now have a great opportunity to create objects and environments which are easier for everyone to make use of.
In August of 2017 I enter the Master of Design Program at UC's School of DAAP. This is a top five design program in the world, encompassing Industrial Design, Architecture, and Interiors. My focus will be on designing the foodservice and hospitality products and space of the future. Creating novel and enduring solutions for operators and their guests. I want to build and be part of a diverse team that changes how foodservice is done.
