Inaugural Frank Hasenfratz Award of Excellence Winner!
Our CEO Court Desautels was honoured with the first ever Frank Hasenfratz Award of Excellence at the 2023 Guelph Chamber of Commerce awards.
This award celebrates an organization or individual who embodies business excellence and the entrepreneurial spirit and we're honoured to have our very own CEO recognized for his hard work and dedication to the community. In his words however, it is and has always been a team effort:
"This award is not just about me, it's about my team, my family because my family is my team."
What Restaurants Mean To The Community
“We’re the cornerstones of neighbourhoods; we’re the modern-day church. We’re a place where you celebrate something momentous that’s happened in your life. We are the chosen gathering spot for a community.”
With the isolating effects of the pandemic still fresh for many of us, discussions have been opening up about "third spaces" and what they mean to healthy communities. Other than work and home, where do people gather, connect, and celebrate? Moreover, what do these spaces like restaurants contribute other than delicous meals and toast-worthy bevereages, not just to their patrons but the people they employee and the neighbourhoods they serve.
