HIT Training and BII Collaborate on a Series of Ready to Reopen Webinars


With pubs, restaurants and other licensed retail venues poised to reopen, HIT Training and the BII are launching a free series of Ready to Reopen webinars to help UK operators prepare for the big reopening.

Set over five days, the hour-long webinars will explore all aspects of a successful reopening, with industry experts and successful operators sharing their thoughts, plans and top tips.

Each session addresses a different area of reopening, from ensuring your staff are feeling confident to deliver in a safe and hospitable environment, to ensuring that front and back of house are as prepared as possible to welcome customers once again.

All five webinars will be recorded, so you can watch them live, catch up with them at a time to suit you, or even share them with your teams.

To find out more and register for any or all of the sessions, please visit: Ready-to-Reopen Webinars!

More information and links to register for each session are below:
