What does Restaurant Marketing Partners do? Hello, my name is Madonna Kash and in addition to being a pretty great person, I am a food service professional in service for over 24 years. I thrive on helping others in which is why I have chosen to stay in this segment; there are many opportunities to help others. Like a food broker I represent many different companies all with the same focus, food service yet many of skills are transferable to other businesses as well so I can work with many different types of businesses. I enjoy building relationships with customers which is why I enjoy representing many options. I have been in thousands of operations and trainings over the span of my career and acquired a boat load of knowledge with these experiences. Through my career marketing and strategic planning was part of the game and an area I excelled in. When I had questions, I asked them; I took the opportunity to learn something new when I had the chance. I can relate and communicate very well within all aspects of the food service industry as it is woven into my DNA. Food service is such an incredible industry as it touches us all personally and professionally. The food chain is personal. We have personal experiences over a fabulous recipe from someone grandmother, we celebrate life with a piece of cake, a cup of coffee and conversation, we teach integrity while making dinner. Food service is about people. A few motivators for me are “Much is lost for the lack of doing a little more” and“Seldom to we meet or exceed our own expectations”. We all have had bad service and as an operator you just hope it wasn’t in your restaurant. But what if it was? If could convey one thing about why I am here doing what I am doing, it’s because it’s my passion. I get food service and love people; great combination.
