RestoForum gathers the most advanced and active restaurateurs!
We have prepared a two-day intensive training course where you will take away ready-made recipes to increase your business profits. No "empty success talk" — only actionable solutions, data, and tools that you can apply as early as the very next day! We conclude each thematic block with an interactive discussion where you can analyze your own cases and others' with experts and colleagues.
Location & Time: June 17–18, Almaty, InterContinental.
Organizer: Restaurant Club of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Day 1 Program:
PROFIT
How to open establishments that actually make money? Why is there revenue but no cash? Where are the assets leaking, and what needs to change to earn more?
- Visionary: Sergey Mironov — Restaurateur, founder of "Myaso&Ryba" restaurants, Chairman of the Coordination Council of the Frio (Russia).
- Practitioners: Kuat Zhagalbaylinov — CEO and co-owner of SoloDoo, PhD student at Al-Farabi KazNU, winner of the "Manager of the Year" republican award; and Andrey Chekmaryov — 20+ years in the restaurant business, expert practitioner, author of books on restaurant marketing, and serial entrepreneur.
Once you understand where the money is being lost, the next question is inevitable: what is happening in the kitchen?
FOOD COST
How to set up your kitchen so it generates profit instead of eating it? How to work with suppliers, manage food costs, and reduce losses?
- Visionary: Alexander Proshenkov — Founder of Lavka by Proshenkov, Chef of the Year 2023 and 2025 according to WHERETOEAT.
- Practitioners: Restaurateur and expert (TBD), and Dmitry Papin — CEO of iiko.
But even a perfectly tuned food cost won't save you if the market changes faster than you can react.
Day 2 Program:
CHALLENGES
How does market transformation affect business and investment? How not to miss opportunities during a crisis? What to do with pressure from government regulations?
- Visionary: Alisher Toyguliyev — Restaurateur, co-founder of Eva Coffee, Tang Ramen Bar, and Kettik Group.
- Practitioners: Irina Lebedeva — Financial Director of the Association "Restaurant Club of the Republic of Kazakhstan"; Government representative (TBD); Magomed Kostoev — CEO of Bellissimo Pizza Kazakhstan.
Those who have learned to work in conditions of turbulence gain the main advantage: the ability to grow while others are just trying to survive.
GROWTH
How to develop and scale a business? How to enter new markets, open new directions, and where to get the resources for it all—including people?
- Visionary: Dmitry Praded — Co-founder of the international chain "Ebidoebi," with 250+ locations in Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, and the UAE.
- Practitioners: Restaurateur and expert (TBD), Elena Pobedonstseva — Partner for personnel at UnoDosTres, business trainer, coach, and lecturer at RMA, SWISSAM, and SVCh school.
