Why Trade Shows Matter for Restaurant Brands
Food is connection. and trade shows like National Restaurant Association Show, International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York, and SIAL America are where brands build those connections in big ways. From quick-service startups to high-end concepts, these events give food and beverage businesses the chance to make real impressions, get feedback fast, and start relationships that last well beyond one bite.
At Magnet Productions, we help restaurant brands showcase their flavor, flair, and function. without the mess.
Reach Decision-Makers in the Restaurant Industry
Whether you're pitching franchise buyers, food distributors, or equipment resellers, the right people are walking the floor. We help you get their attention, engage meaningfully, and turn samples into strong leads.
Build Brand Awareness and Market Trust
From food trucks to full-service, visibility is everything. We help you:
Tell your origin story quickly and clearly
Stand out in a crowded hall of smells, samples, and signage
Give a taste of what your brand is really about. literally and visually
Launch and Demo Products Effectively
Sampling is great, but it needs strategy. We help you:
Set up clean, contained tasting stations that follow health codes
Use signage, aroma, and color to draw visitors in
Convert tasters into contacts with smart lead capture tools
Challenges of Exhibiting in the Restaurant Space
How to Sample Without Creating a Mess
We guide booth setup that’s:
Food-safe and easy to clean
Designed for quick bites and fast turnover
Optimized for flow, so visitors don't cluster and crowd
Trade Show Hacks for Food-Based Businesses
Health codes, refrigeration, and timing are real concerns. We help you plan:
Sampling schedules that align with foot traffic
Smart behind-the-counter prep
Proper storage and disposal areas that satisfy event staff and inspectors
Converting Tasters into Leads
When someone’s chewing, it’s hard to pitch. That’s why we:
Use clear signage and QR codes
Offer opt-in tools while guests sample (iPads, contests, etc.)
Train booth staff to follow up naturally once the bite is done
