Recommended Hospitality Social Networking Site

I recently stumbled upon a great social networking website that anyone in the hospitality industry will find useful.

The site is FohBoh.com which stands for Front of House, Back of House. I’ve been using it over the past few weeks to find suppliers/vendors as well as consultants that I can collaborate with on various projects.

For a bar or restaurant owner, this site is ideal for forging new relationships with vendors, seeking assistance on projects and keeping up to date on new ideas and news. You’ll also find my blog there so I’m a little biased!

Here’s their own blurb about what they do:

FohBoh, Inc. is the largest online B2B social-business community and P2P knowledge bank for the restaurant industry. FohBoh™ (short for industry terms front of the house and back of the house) offers a powerful vertical professional platform to an enormous global addressable market.
