marketing, customer service, financial management, franchising,
plus much more. Our speaker lineup includes Jeff Joiner, Jeff

Scott Peters, TheRestaurantExpert.com; Bob Welcher, Restaurant
Consultants, Inc.; Tony Gemignani, Owner/Author/Master Instructor;

peers. Make friends, solve problems and get enthused about
improving your business!
Prizes
NAPICS ’15 is about education, business evolution and FUN!
This year, we’re going to have several drawings that’ll reward
attendees with things like iPads and cash.
