Atlanta’s Restaurant Industry Outlook: An Interview with Kris Reinhold, 2021 Chair of Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau Board of Directors A partner in Fifth Group Restaurants and general manager of Bold, Fifth Group’s catering and design division, Kris Reinhold brings nearly 30 years of experience in Atlanta’s restaurant industry to his new role as 2021 chair of Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau board of directors. His extensive knowledge and leadership will be invaluable as the hospitality and tourism industry recovers and emerges stronger than ever from the aftermath of the pandemic. We spent a few minutes with Reinhold to get his thoughts on the outlook for Atlanta’s restaurant industry in 2021 and what guests can do to help.

What do you see being the biggest challenge in 2021 for the restaurant and hospitality community?

As the nation continues to battle the pandemic and we have fewer locals dining out and visitors traveling to

Atlanta, sales remains our industry’s biggest challenge. We are hopeful that things will continue to progress positively for the remainder of the year.

How have you seen the restaurant landscape change to better serve its guests?

I think we see our guests being more thankful and appreciative than ever for the level of service we provide. We’ve always been focused on delivering a great service experience, and our restaurant guest satisfaction scores have never been better. Our teams are focused on creating great experiences, and it seems like most of our guests are more appreciative than ever. You know the old saying, “you don’t know how good it is until it’s gone.” I think a lot of our guests are ready to have someone take care of them for a change.

How can visitors best support the restaurant industry when they come to town?

Obviously, dining out in local, independent restaurants. All of our restaurants are following our enhanced health and safety guidelines. If you

Kris Reinhold

aren’t yet comfortable dining out please consider ordering takeout or delivery or buying gift cards for family and friends.

And if you are looking for a location for a small team meeting when your office space is closed, consider a local restaurant’s private or semi-private space.
