Exclusive to TL Insiders, TL Insider Fireside Chats feature the most compelling people in politics, society, literature, fashion, design, food and more, and as part of virtual TL Insider, we will be bringing some of the most dynamic leaders in the city into your homes. 

On May 22, Join TL Insider as we host Andrew Oliver, President and CEO of Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality (O&B) to discuss the future of the restaurant sector post COVID-19. What can we do to help support our favourite restaurants, right now? How can main street build resilience during this time? And what's next for the sector as we slowly re-open our city. 

Oliver & Bonacini is recognized as one of Canada's leading hospitality companies, operating a diverse portfolio of innovative and celebrated restaurants including Canoe, Leña and Auberge du Pommier; as well as unique event venues, such as Arcadian and The Carlu. During his tenure, Andrew has increased event-specific sales by over 500% and established the company as an industry leader, forging key partnerships with Hudson’s Bay, Compass Group Canada, Big Rock Brewery, and Katz Group. In 2018, he led the acquisition of Concorde Entertainment Group, doubling the company’s portfolio of restaurants. With 10 restaurant and event venue openings in Toronto, Montreal, Saskatoon, Calgary and Edmonton over the last three years, Andrew has been credited as the driving force behind O&B’s successful national expansion. In 2020, Andrew co-founded Save Hospitality, a coalition of independent restaurateurs lobbying for government support to help the restaurant industry survive the COVID-19 pandemic.
