About this episode
The episode discusses the competition among reservation platforms and the impact of AI and technology on the dining experience.
The reservation wars are heating up, as SevenRooms (via DoorDash) seeks to challenge OpenTable and Resy with a major play. Adrienne and Joe tell us why this is just the beginning, and how technology and AI are changing the dining experience. In this episode, we also discuss: Why dining experiences have become a huge focus for big tech (and your credit card company) The influence of social media on culinary trends and menu design The evolution of restaurant operations from analog to digital (and why we may be moving back) A shift in power for how restaurants are able to book reservations The initial rise of reservation platforms like OpenTable, Tock, and Resy The role of AI in restaurant operations and guest experience Should we trust AI to get involved in our reservations?
