Savory Fund's 6th Annual Restaurantology

In 2021, South Block founder Amir Mostafavi attended Restaurantology® as an energized operator. At the conference, Savory — which is a private equity firm that invests in emerging restaurant concepts — presented an “investor scorecard” for brands to document their metrics and see where they stood from an investor’s perspective. Mostafavi filled out his scorecard and quickly realized South Block was surpassing the ideal metrics on all fronts.

Two years later, South Block became an official Savory brand — with Mostafavi’s Restaurantology® journey coming full circle on stage as a panelist in 2023. The private equity powerhouse will host 600+ restaurant professionals in Salt Lake City on Oct. 1 with a FREE conference aimed to educate and elevate emerging brands within the industry.

At its core, this is what Restaurantology® is all about: operators supporting operators. 

The jam-packed one-day schedule will include informative panels and Q&As featuring industry veterans the likes of Clay Dover (CEO, Velvet Taco), Nate Garn (President, Sizzling Platter), Daniel Batty (Chief Development Officer, Swig), Brian Simowtiz (VP, Corporate and Franchise Operations, Slim Chickens) and Savory executives. The 2024 agenda includes a host of topics pertinent to restaurant operators today — specifically growth strategies, increasing traffic, franchising, team mental health training, marketing & loyalty, real estate, pricing strategies, and more.
