The Tech Chef, Restaurant, Hospitality and Hotel Technology Business Podcast

Today, as promised, is our 2023  MURTEC  recap show. It was a short two weeks ago we were gathered together at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas right in the middle of one of the best conferences I have been to in a very long time. Anybody who has listened to this show for any length of time knows that a recap show is a must for anybody who did not have a chance to attend OR did not...

I have to say, once again, that  MURTEC  was amazing in many ways. As a matter of fact, I had promised you a Toby and Skip  MURTEC  recap show, however, we had so many great networking opportunities and vendor discussions that we are still catching up from the show! Having said that, we WILL bring you that re-cap episode but it will have to wait another week. How...

For all of you that saw me speak over the past couple of days, I hope you enjoyed yourselves. You were fun and engaged audiences! Web3 and the metaverse can really stoke different thoughts and emotions in people and I had fun exploring the technology as a whole with you and hearing YOUR thoughts on where this technology is headed. It is still the wild west out there when it comes to...

The conference season has officially kicked in and I will be seeing many of you this next week.  Starting off on Sunday, I will be speaking at the  International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York  that will be held at the  Javits Center . I will be talking about how technology is changing the landscape of restaurants and digging into the world of web3 and...

Well, I think I am finally done traveling for business for the year AND I believe I have been to my last two conferences of the year since we last chatted. I was down the road from my home here in Ft Lauderdale and attended  HT-Next  as well as the  Immerse Global Summit . I have to tell you, both of these conferences were amazing and I spent the two days down in Miami con...

I hope you had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving week last week. Hopefully you were able to get some extra time off to spend with your friends and family. I know that in our industries, that may have been your busiest time and that may not have been possible. For those of you lucky ones that DID have time off, now it is “go-time” to prepare for Christmas and the holidays next month.  Si...

This week I am here at the  Restaurant Finance & Development Conference  and the  Digital Signage Expo , here in Las Vegas. If you are at RFDC and are listening to this show, tomorrow, Wednesday, make sure you stick around and sign up and join the Technology Boot Camp where  Zerrick Pearson ,  Galen Collins  and myself will be teaching on various areas of tec...

Last week’s  Florida Restaurant and Lodging Associations Show  was a huge success. I you didn’t get to hear me speak on web3, don’t fret, you will have many more opportunities in the near future and into 2023! From what I hear, the reports are in and it sounds like the  MURTEC Executive Summit  was a big hit as well! I wish I could have replicated myself and been...

Happening this week is the  Florida Restaurant and Lodging Associations Show  as well as the  MURTEC Executive Summit . If you will be at the Florida show, remember, I will be speaking on web3 and how it is impacting the restaurant industry. Lots of fun, cool, interactive elements to this presentation so it would be worth your effort to come see it. And of course, the...

Next week should be exciting for a couple of reasons: First, I will be speaking at the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association’s Show in Orlando, Florida. For those of you that will be there, make sure you come see my session on November 3rd where I will explore how web3 is changing the landscape of restaurants. Don’t know what #web3 is? Want to learn more about NFTs, crypto...

It’s been a little while since we last spoke as I have been traveling around like a madman with client work and lots and lots of shows. I saw quite a few of you at FSTEC in Dallas. It was a great show this year and certainly loved the venue. There was tons of energy out there on the trade show floor…. I think everybody was glad that things finally seem back to normal. The netwo...

So, what are we cooking up on today’s show? We’ll be taking a look at some groundbreaking restaurant technology news that happened last week.
