Pecinka Ferri Associates Host Inaugural Ghost & Ventless Kitchen Forum FAIRFIELD, N.J.
—November 29, 2021—

Ghost kitchens are foodservice’s ultimate decoupling of production and fulfillment. Paired with ventless tech solutions, ghost and commercial kitchens can operate in any space. In response to the growing trend in the foodservice industry, Pecinka Ferri Associates hosted an inaugural forum that included a complimentary day of mock-up ghost kitchen, live cooking vignettes, keynote presentations, panel discussions, skills-building workshops, extensive networking opportunities, mindful sessions, and an abundance of additional resources.
 
The Ghost & Ventless Kitchen Forum was held in person and virtually on Tuesday, November 16. Hosted by Pecinka Ferri Associates and co-sponsored by Middleby Corporation, the forum explored the utilization of ghost kitchens and ventless commercial foodservice equipment throughout its robust day-long event.
 
“We recognize that, as major retailers have adopted the ghost kitchen model, there is a growing need for an overview of the concepts, planning, development, and execution of successful operations,” explained Pecinka Ferri co-principal Ed Pecinka, Jr. “The Ghost & Ventless Kitchen Forum showcased the nuts and bolts of ventless appliances and the many nuances of ghost kitchens.”
 
Along with breakout sessions focused on cost, menu development, marketing, and innovative technologies, participants were able to experience various environments of ventless appliances and hear speakers from the operator to manufacturing communities and everyone else in between. Presenters included Nathan’s Famous Senior Vice President James Walker, Middleby Corporation’s Scott Heim, Chef Chris Galarza of Forward Dining Solutions, BYOB Bagels Co-founder Beth George, Chief Executive Officer of Big Chicken Josh Halpern, Vice President of Culinary with Cuisine Solutions Sean Wheaton, and Co-publisher of Total Food Service Fred Klashman.
 
The forum began with Keynote Speaker James Walker and was wrapped up with a panel discussion moderated by Fred Klashman. Panelists included Chef Chris Galarza,

Josh Halpern, and Scott Heim, who weighed in on innovating and continuing to move forward within multiple facets of the foodservice industry.
 
“Our Pecinka Ferri team pulled out all of the stops in producing a memorable event, especially at this time of year,” said Pecinka Ferri co-principal Joe Ferri. “We are grateful for the opportunity to once again join with our industry partners, teach, learn, break bread, and together forge the future of foodservice.”
