Description
Managing the coexistence of a concessioned restaurant and a cultural venue can be complex but also offers significant financial opportunities. When a museum or cultural site entrusts its restaurant to a concessionaire or privatizes it, establishing a suitable contractual framework is essential to ensure mutual benefits for all stakeholders. Through real-life case studies, this session will explore strategies to ensure harmonious coexistence, where the interests of the restaurant and those of the museum or cultural site complement each other. Sonia Legros, head of resource development for the Museum of Modern Art, and Adrien Joly, a resource development expert for cultural institutions, will delve into challenges related to scheduling, shared spaces, and visitor flows. They will also discuss best practices for ensuring a seamless and cohesive experience for visitors. Topics such as contracting, partnerships, and human resource management will be addressed, with a particular focus on preserving the integrity of the cultural offering while optimizing the restaurant’s commercial performance.
