A Business Guide” and “Cost Analysis and Pricing for Restaurants” will be held at NRCC’s New River Valley Mall site in Christiansburg.

Each workshop will be offered in a computer lab setting, offering participants a thorough, hands-on learning experience.

The “Cost Analysis and Pricing for Restaurants” workshop will take place on Tuesday, May 15, from 9 to 11 a.m. and will focus on accurately pricing appetizers, entrees and desserts and overall restaurant cost-reduction strategies. Other subjects covered will include how to determine which menu items generate the most revenue and using spreadsheets to analyze and determine pricing.

Dr. Jeanne Symanoskie, a corporate trainer for NRCC, will be the instructor for each workshop. Symanoskie’s background includes 10 years experience teaching in various settings including the Fairfax County Public Schools, Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland and the University of Georgia. She also owned and operated the Blacksburg area restaurant Log Cabin BBQ for three years.
