Dickies Arena will have a self-operated food and beverage department when it opens in November. But why is this structure the best strategy for the Fort Worth venue?
Julie Margolin, Director of Food & Beverage, comes to Dickies Arena carrying a résumé that features experience working for a third-party F&B provider in multiple venues, including STAPLES Center and Barclays Center, as well as in an in-house operation at the Honda Center.
In this ALSD Member Tip, Margolin shares her experience at each career stop, focusing on lessons learned at the Honda Center that she will call upon now in her new building, citing the self-op model’s advantages, and passing along some simple advice to help any foodservice professional, or any ALSD member for that matter, improve performance and production, regardless of the building’s F&B model.
