Annual Leadership Conference

Our Values,

Our Future

LENOX HOTEL | BOSTON | MARCH 19-21, 2023

61 EXETER STREET, BOSTON, MA | 617-536-5300

PRESENTED BY:

Dear Attendees, Sponsors

and PPX Partners

Welcome to PPX Hospitality Brands’ second Annual Leadership Conference.

The Theme of our Conference - Our Values, Our Future - reects our desire to

continue to grow our brands by investing in you, your wellbeing, and the wellbeing

of the businesses you run. As always, this is an opportunity to both look back and

ahead, celebrating our successes and learning from some of the goals that we

were unable to reach this past year.

Our format of both general and breakout sessions is broadly similar but weighted

more towards group participation as we exchange ideas and learn from each other.

This year, reecting our global business platform, I am pleased to say that not

only are we joined by our friends from London as usual but also for the rst time

by our friends from Taiwan. We must also acknowledge generosity of our owners,

our investors, and our hospitality partners, all of whom are represented here and

throughout the conference, without whom this conference would not be possible.

We have a unique collection of brands powered by all of you, the dedicated team

members that show our guests how important they are to us each and every day.

Thank you all.

Sincerely,

OLIVER

PPX Hospitality Brands. It’s all about the people.

Our brands

A collection of iconic steakhouses here in the US and now internationally in London and Taipei

– This famously celebrated America’s Steakhouse, where USDA Prime steaks are still hand-

butchered and dry- aged in-house was founded in New York City and known throughout the world.

If steak were a religion, Smith & Wollensky would be its cathedral! An over-the-top steakhouse

experience built on quality, integrity and genuine hospitality!

A collection of Italian restaurants and cafés throughout greater Boston. At Strega Italiano, we

believe in food with heart, made with love from recipes handed down from generations past.

Homemade pastas, secret- recipe sauces, fresh focaccia and house-baked desserts. Much like

life...it’s messy, generous and heartfelt, with the warmth of home. Welcome to our home, where

everyone is family and “Things could get messy!”

Seventy years ago, Legal Sea Foods opened as a sh market in Cambridge, MA and has since cast

a wider net – now operating restaurants along the east coast as well as its own Quality Control

Center on Boston Harbor. Legal Sea Foods’ iconic tagline, “If it isn’t fresh, it isn’t Legal!” speaks

to its legendary fanaticism for seafood quality and safety. The restaurants serve over 40 varieties

of fresh sh and shellsh throughout the year; the menu highlights quintessential New England

fare, including its famous New England Clam Chowder that has been served at every Presidential

Inauguration since 1981.

Our story

We love what can happen around the restaurant table. And since 1998 we’ve been

commied to empowering that experience. From helping restaurants of all sizes thrive,

to enabling diners to nd and book the perfect table for every occasion, our story is one

of human connection—among diners and restaurants, and between restaurants and their

communities.

Now, we’re growing globally like never before, and continuing to lead the conversation in

the tech and restaurant spaces with products that anticipate the ever-evolving needs of

both restaurants and diners.

With our passion for hospitality, we take pride in bringing together people and the

restaurants they love in the moments that maer. Pull up a chair and join us.

• Ma Geoghegan – Commercial Regional Chain Manager
