5 (2:32) Episode Highlights
(2:16) Turning Real-Time Restaurant Data Into Profit Decisions “Data is king because it tells you what tools to use to be able to understand and analyze information, and for the human to understand how to apply that in their unique environment.”
(4:29) How CTOs Earn A Real Seat At The Table “The best advice I could give any technologist out there is if you want a seat at the table, you need to understand what is being said, because if you do not understand the business conversation, you are no longer really in that conversation.”
8 (5:25) Why CTOs Must Obsess Over The Customer Journey “Understanding your customer means understanding who you are serving internally and then understanding who they are serving, because the customer pays the bills, and anything you did that kept money from reaching the bank is something you will have to answer for.”
(8:44) Inside The Tech Stack Of A Truly Connected Kitchen “The digital kitchen is there to act like a gate guard, to act like a cop in a bad traffic accident, to allow things to smoothly flow where they need to go, to handle the bad things efficiently, and to let people spend more time taking care of the customer.”
(8:48) Solving Restaurant Tech Chaos With One Innovation Lab “From the customer to the bank and everything in between, the innovation lab was created and designed to work with all these different partners to solve problems, so that we can help people figure out how to make something work within their environment without knocking restaurants offline.”
