Great recap about who Craftable is and our focus to help them amazing industry we serve! Love this quote "They didn't have visibility prior to this before. They usually have food and labor, but we are allowing them to see where cost is leaking. Where are they losing by showing variances." In a game of narrow margins, there is no room for guesswork. And Craftable is exactly the tool to provide the visibility needed to impact your bottom line. Great stuff David Cantu

Guest data should work for restaurant teams—not add more work to their day. That’s why OpenTable and Loyalist are coming together to give restaurant groups a clearer, more unified view of their guests. With Loyalist’s CRM connected to OpenTable, operators can understand guest behavior across locations to deliver more personalized hospitality, whether that’s a targeted email, a timely SMS, or a thoughtful table touch. Loyalist is now part of the OpenTable partner ecosystem, helping more restaurants bring their tech stacks together in one place. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ebdvXjdX Julie Chen Maggie Tang

If you care about the restaurant industry, I think you should pay attention to what just happened in the November elections. Because while everyone was focused on the big races (and the NJ Gov here in NJ) Some major wins for the industry slipped under the radar..... The National Restaurant Association's Mike Whatley breaks it down: ↳ Surprise legislative victories in multiple states ↳ New coalitions forming to fight ingredient regulation ↳ A completely reshaped 2025 legislative agenda A few of these things caught my attention: States are pushing back against the patchwork of local regulations that have been crushing operators. And there's a new coalition organized specifically to combat state-level copycat bills. The goal? Federal preemption over ingredient laws. Translation: One set of rules instead of 50 different compliance nightmares. This matters because: Restaurant margins are already razor-thin. Compliance costs from conflicting state laws make it worse. Operators need consistency to survive. The momentum is shifting. After years of playing defense, the industry is finally getting organized and winning strategic battles at the state level. Is it enough? Time will tell. But it's a start. ⤵️ What regulatory challenge is hitting your operation the hardest right now? ♻️ Share this to help other operators stay informed ➕ Follow me for more restaurant industry insights #RestaurantIndustry #Hospitality #RestaurantBusiness #Leadership

Restaurants are under more pressure than ever and technology is now core to staying competitive. I recently spoke with Jessica Huras for Foodservice & Hospitality’s latest issue to share my perspective on how operators are leaning on real-time data, integrated POS, and mobile ordering to manage labour shortages, rising costs, and shifting diner expectations. At Square, our focus is simple: help restaurants save time so they can focus on what they do best. https://lnkd.in/ga8v3Gar

👉 In restaurant tech, if your product is half-baked…you’re toast. 🍞 After attending the Restaurant Leadership Conference and Food on Demand, one thing became 💎 crystal clear: technology consolidation is happening, and we’re to blame. We can’t keep selling 🧰 tools operators don’t need. It’s time to stop pushing products and start 👂 listening. Be a consultant. Understand their challenges. And if your solution doesn’t fit, pass the lead. Helping someone find the right solution (even if it’s not yours) builds more trust and impact than any short-term sale ever could. Operators deserve better. Let’s be better. 💯 #restauranttech #salesleadership #hospitality #growthmindset
