Delivering the Digital Restaurant

Your Roadmap to the Future of Food

By: Carl Orsbourn, Meredith Sandland

Narrated by: Carl Orsbourn

The omnichannel disruption that upended retail has finally come to the restaurant industry. Restaurateurs must shift how they think, behave, and invest to survive and thrive. Today’s consumers are well-conditioned in their expectations: They want the same tech-savvy, on-demand, and frictionless interactions with restaurants that they get in every other vertical. If you think your 1,000-unit restaurant chain is too big to fail, remember that 1,000-unit Sears closed nearly all of its stores after it filed for bankruptcy in February 2019. If you think your local family independent restaurant is too beloved to fail, remember the Amazon effect changed the face of main street and traditional retailing.

Delivering the Digital Restaurant explores the massive disruption facing restaurants through firsthand accounts of food industry veterans and start-up entrepreneurs innovating the future of food. Combining sociological observations, rich industry data, and insider knowledge, Delivering paints a picture of how food is evolving and how you as a leader, owner, or operator can successfully innovate and meet the new consumer demands to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.

Those who understand this digital disruption will be better positioned to embrace the innovation that consumers are demanding. Those who resist will surely be left behind.

Narrator and story are good. For the restauranteur that hasn't jumped all the way in on digital marketing. Some future talk as well.

Long term thought process

Really was only interested in the US and the UK. But the additional info was interesting.
