Florida’s restaurant industry is growing faster than the national average, driven by a booming population, rising tourism, and a strong business climate that continues to attract both major brands and innovative independents. According to the National Restaurant Association, this momentum shows no signs of slowing.
Today, Florida is home to 22 of the Top 100 independent restaurants in the U.S., more than any other state, and a record number of Michelin-starred restaurants in 2025, positioning it as a true hub for culinary innovation and opportunity.
Exhibiting at the Florida Restaurant Show gives you direct access to this thriving marketplace.
When you exhibit, you will:
-
Connect in person with a growing pool of qualified restaurant owners, operators, chefs, and buyers.
-
Showcase your products and solutions to businesses actively investing in innovation and expansion.
-
Build meaningful face-to-face relationships that drive a real impact on your business.
In a market growing this quickly, digital outreach alone isn’t enough. Nothing replaces the power of in-person connection. The Florida Restaurant Show is where suppliers and operators come together to do business, discover what’s next, and form partnerships that fuel long-term growth.
