I am an eternal optimist in my opinion, but... The restaurant industry has been decimated, and so far at least in the U.S, the numbers aren't going in the right direction. We have been numb to the number of closings, slowdows, layoffs etc due to this pandemic. There is no question that this situation will impact our industry for quite some time.  Lost sales, profits and key employees will continue their impact into the future. I spoke on this in early March that as we started shutting down, it was a GREAT time to educate yourself on something new.  Even for fun or for business, it's pretty rare especially for us in the industry to have such an amount of time off. Listen in, pretty short and raw, but perhaps it may inspire you to take action now, to expand what might be your new reality as we move ahead. Be well, be safe...talk soon.

While we recorded this in 2015, there are MANY actionable nuggets of info regarding payments in your restaurant, gift card sales and more. Especially in this time of Corona-19, we are doing more and more in the digital space with placing online orders, contactless payments and more. As I have continued to preach, we MUST PIVOT our business during this time, and maybe straight CHANGE our model. We talk on Apple Pay, Compliance, online auctions, give aways and more...
