Social Syndicate

Founded in 2011, Social Syndicate (SS) is a San Diego-based restaurant development group with a track record of revitalizing and creating popular and profitable restaurant concepts. With more than 50 years of collective experience among SS’s board of directors, they’ve acquired the experience and insight to both successfully turn around “dead” properties and identify new opportunities and trends. SS mixes professional and personal passions together, throws in some ice, creating one delicious cocktail. It’s how (and why) SS works, plays, and succeeds. As the Event Manager for SS, my expertise lies with logical planning and executing fun & memorable events of all types.
