National Food Service Security Council (NFSSC) Finalizes Breakout Topics

The National Food Service Security Council (NFSSC), the leading trade association for loss prevention and security professionals in the QSR and casual dining restaurant industry, has finalized its series of Breakout Sessions that will be featured at its 34th Annual Conference, August 4-7, in Las Vegas.

The Breakout Sessions complement the larger Keynote and General Sessions that make-up the entire education program of the Conference. Breakout Sessions are designed to feature more specific topics targeted at all levels and responsibilities of the LP and Security professional. “The Breakouts offer registrants an opportunity to learn and share from real-life practices on areas of interest that affect the LP professional on a daily basis,” says Ted Polensky, Boddie Noell Enterprises and Chairman of the NFSSC Planning Committee. “This allows participants to take part in topics that are most important to their specific needs and responsibilities.” Breakout Sessions are presented by restaurant practitioners with a great deal of working experience in the noted field. The Break Sessions include:

Depositions: Are You an Asset or Liability to Your Company?; presented by Anne Sullivan, CKE Restaurants
Food Loss and Cost Controls; presented by Levell Hedgspeth, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Fraud & Scam Protection; presented by Michael Loox, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
Smart Safes Q&A; co-presented by Chris Manning, The Wendy’s Company and Joe Verber, Taco Bell

“LP and Security practitioners face different challenges and have different responsibilities. The Breakouts can help them fine-tune their skills in areas that perhaps don’t get as much attention as others,” said James Brussow, CPP, Dave & Buster’s Inc., and 2013 NFSSC President. “It’s a great opportunity to learn from those who have been there and done it successfully.”

NFSSC will host its 34th Annual Conference, August 4-7, 2013, at the M Resort Spa and Casino, in Las Vegas. The event features executive keynotes, educational sessions and workshops, roundtables, exhibits, scheduled practitioner/vendor meetings, and a host of entertaining networking functions. The education program will highlight speakers from the restaurant and loss prevention industry, presenting real-world topics and best practices, offering a host of solutions and insights for everyday situations.
