HOUSTON - s4story -- Immersive training program pairs operators with veteran foodservice designers, consultants, and equipment experts to help them navigate design, renovation, and new construction with confidence

Foodservice Design BootCamp, an intensive training program built for hospitality professionals managing foodservice facility projects, today announced registration is open for its upcoming session, taking place October 26-29, 2026, at the C. Baldwin, Curio Collection by Hilton, 400 Dallas Street, Houston, TX 77002.

The program addresses a gap familiar to anyone who has managed a commercial kitchen renovation without a background in construction: operators are experts in running foodservice, not in construction sequencing, permitting, equipment procurement, or design coordination. Foodservice Design BootCamp brings operators face to face with the designers, consultants, and equipment specialists who manage these projects for a living, walking attendees through every phase of a foodservice facility project, from initial concept through final construction.

Attendees leave the program with practical tools for identifying design flaws before they become expensive change orders, understanding the roles of every stakeholder on a project team, and building realistic budgets and timelines that account for permitting, equipment lead times, and construction contingencies. Past attendees have described the experience as transformative to how they approach their projects:
