The California Restaurant Show 2026 is a major foodservice and hospitality trade exhibition serving the western United States. The event brings together restaurant operators, chefs, distributors, and suppliers to explore new products, technologies, and strategies shaping the future of the restaurant and foodservice sector.
The exhibition showcases a wide range of food and beverage products, kitchen equipment, packaging, technology, and services designed for commercial kitchens and hospitality operators. In addition, suppliers present solutions focused on efficiency, cost control, menu development, and sustainability. This makes the show highly relevant for independent restaurants, multi-site operators, and foodservice distributors.
Importantly, California Restaurant Show 2026 reflects the scale and influence of the Californian foodservice market. As a result, the event attracts strong attendance from decision makers across restaurants, catering, hospitality, and contract foodservice. The show provides a practical environment for sourcing, benchmarking suppliers, and identifying new commercial opportunities.
Alongside the exhibition, the event features a programme of educational sessions and live demonstrations. These sessions cover topics such as menu trends, labour challenges, technology adoption, and operational best practice. Furthermore, live culinary showcases and demonstrations offer practical inspiration for chefs and operators.
