The Symposium Cafe restaurants group works hand-in-hand with one of the city's leading cafe / restaurant design companies to create powerful restaurant marketing and promotional campaigns that have proven very successful in each of our restaurants. Our cafe advertising campaigns are designed to focus on local market penetration and maximization. Exciting in store and patio programs promotes further awareness, drive restaurant sales and increase bottom line results of each of our cafes. Franchisees are encouraged to contribute creative and innovative restaurant ideas for chainwide use.

The Symposium Cafe has established the "George Argiropoulos Memorial Scholarship Fund". This fund is in place to allow our restaurants a return of goodwill to the food and hospitality industry and our local communities. Various foodservice promotions through the year augment the funds to sponsor scholarships in Food and Hospitality Programs of various colleges and universities, local to each Symposium Cafe. As well, participation or sponsorship of charitable events by franchisees at a local level and the company on a national level foster great corporate and community relations.

We have had great success in each of our restaurants developing and working with our community partners. One of the greatest assets of a successful Franchisee is the ability to integrate with the Community. Our support of community events and becoming a neighborhood partner has built a loyal customer base for The Symposium Cafe.

Head Office hosts "Team Building Symposiums" to promote the exchange of ideas. Franchisees are encouraged to attend these Symposiums that address industry trends, new products and promotional ideas.
