# Restaurant Brokers discuss Getting into the Airport Marketplace
Posted by [Dusty Bennett](https://blog.wesellrestaurants.com/author/dusty-bennett) on Jan 9, 2014 4:08:00 PM
The restaurant brokers will discuss airport restaurant operations this week on their radio show. They are joined by Frank Sickelsmith of HMS Host and Carl Schaffer of Ideation Design Group. HMS Host and Ideation Design Group both specialize in the airport restaurant marketplace. Frank Sickelsmith discusses how a restaurant owner can learn more about getting into the airport terminals. What are the things you need to know when trying to open a airport restaurant? Find out this and more this Saturday at noon on Atlanta's Talk 920.
Carl Schaffer, a principal architect for Ideation Design Group will speak about the challenges associated with building inside of an airport terminal. Things you may not think about are checking construction workers in and out of security daily. Thats right, all tools and all workers are checked on a daily basis to keep the airport safe. These obstacles and more can make opening an airport restaurant challenging, but the rewards are astounding! Millions of people travel everyday and having a airport based restaurant can produce 3 times the amount of sales than a curbside venue.
Listeners will understand more on the differences between air side and land side and what concept works best for both. So, are you ready to get your restaurant inside of an airport? HMS Host is an industry leader in airport restaurants and can provide you with information on what it takes to become the next terminal sensation at your local airport. Their website is http://www.hmshost.com/.
