The Cobb Chamber will host the final Cumberland Area Council of the year on Oct. 27 when Quinton Austin of Copelands’s Atlanta Franchise group and Todd Mussman of Muss & Turner’s will share their professional journeys in the restaurant business through the past year during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the pandemic, many establishments had to make a major shift in business and began offering take-out meals, according to a Cobb Chamber statement.
Austin and Mussman will discuss how they successfully reinvented their dining concepts, handled the transition during the pandemic and, most importantly, made the return to dine-in a safe, enjoyable experience, the statement added.
More specifically, Austin is the managing partner and co-owner of the Copeland’s Atlanta Franchise group. His restaurant career includes leadership positions at O’Charleys, Maggiano’s, Rosa Mexicano, True Food Kitchen and Copeland’s. Actively involved in community organizations, Austin is a booster and sponsor for surrounding local high school athletic organizations.
Before opening Muss & Turner’s, Mussman worked with Fifth Group at the Food Studio, South City Kitchen and Sala. Mussman spends his time helping in daily operations at Muss & Turner’s, all while managing MTH Pizza. Mussman also is a founding board member of the Giving Kitchen.
