Today’s food system is living in the past.
Today’s food system is living in the past.
Old Ways
Restaurants are still operating with business models and processes from 30 or 40 years ago. Owners are stretched, workers are stressed out, and consumers are missing out.
Not there yet
New technologies have been brought in, but they’ve focused on improving current processes with data and software.
The issue
They haven’t actually touched the key issue: food and the way restaurants handle it. This is where fundamental change is needed (and where the most gains can be made).
