Restaurant Briefing

Briefing is a restaurant business newsletter with a long history in the industry. Published for restaurateurs by American Express for almost 40 years, its unique blend of best practices and expert insights continues to help restaurateurs compete in an increasing competitive marketplace.

Briefing is now available exclusively online at restaurantbriefing.com, where entire editions (and other Briefing publications) can be downloaded, and a four year archive of all content is posted – including article sources and additional resources. Six bi-monthly editions are published annually. In 2009, to help restaurateurs meet unprecedented economic pressures, Briefing altered its publication schedule to create seven special editions, each focusing on a specific challenge that restaurateurs were facing in order to survive and prosper. These special editions are also available on the site.

Briefing subscribers receive email alerts when new editions are posted, with descriptions of and links to articles. To subscribe, click here.

Briefing editors welcome ideas for future stories and information about topics that are relevant to our readers. Please contact the editors via email editors@restaurantbriefing.com or call the Briefing editorial office at (800) 342-2788.
