Rob, Is the ultimate Linked In guy. Even before Linked In he was Linked In. He is also the ultimate Iron Man....when it comes to business, he works tirelessly for his customers and his company.

Lou Grande Jr.

I have known Rob professionally for over twelve years. As industry peers, we served together on the NRA MIS Executive Study Group board, and as industry partners, I served on the FS/Tec Advisory Board. Rob is knowledgeable, energetic and passionate about the foodservice industry and how emerging technologies can enhance company profitabilty and enrich the guest experience. Some of Rob's contributions to the maturing of our industry are well known but most of them are anonymous and too numerous to list. He is a true leader in every sense of the word that not only talks-the-talk but walks-the-walk. If you're serious about the foodservice industry but don't know Rob, you are missing out on what I consider one of the most important critical success factors of your career and your company.
