In this field, it is impossible to succeed without continuous learning, development, passion, effort, and energy. I began my journey with this understanding. From my experience, being a restaurateur means making it a lifestyle. It was this passion and having a dream that helped me start my path, overcome many challenges, and lay the strong foundations of Armenia’s restaurant industry,” said David Yeremyan in his address.

Everything started from a small stall, but I had a vision, a dream to reach new horizons and heights, and the desire to achieve it—despite the difficulties—never be afraid and never retreat.
He also answered the participants’ questions. In response to the question, “What is David Yeremyan’s recipe for success?” he answered: “To be able to set goals and not surrender under any circumstances… and for this, you need to answer three main questions: What am I doing?
