    The Restaurant Tech That's Costing You Thousands (And You Don't Even Need It)

    Vendors will tell you that you need all of it. You don't. In this episode, I talk about the restaurant technology that's quietly eating into your profits, the stuff that sounds essential but really isn't. From fancy inventory systems to AI-powered tools that promise to revolutionize your operation, there's a lot out there designed to separate you from your money. I'll walk you through what to skip, what's actually worth paying for, and how to make smarter decisions with your tech budget so you can put that money where it actually matters, into your food, your team, and your customers' experience. This one is for restaurant owners, managers, and anyone who's thinking about opening a spot. If you've ever sat through a vendor demo and felt pressured into signing up for something you weren't sure you needed, this episode is for you. I've been on that side of the table, and I'm breaking down what I learned the hard way so you don't have to. Plus, a quick update on where I've been - I'm retiring from my job/career! Moving to a different country and I launched a brand new website called Culinary Brush with recipes, restaurant operation content, home cooking tips, and a whole lot more on the way. I've got big plans for the site including a restaurant directory, an Owners Circle membership for current and future restaurant owners, and a SaaS platform that I'm really excited about. Stay tuned.
