collaboration. (Check it out here.)<\/p>\n<p>Kelly MacPherson, former CIO at Burger King, Popeye\u2019s, and a current Advisory Council Member at USHG Acquisition Corp, oversaw the creation of the e-book and interviewed 10 different innovators in the restaurant space.<\/p>\n<p>She and Zack discuss her main takeaways from the experience, which are outlined below:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Collaboration Is The Name Of The Game<\/h2>\n<p>The benefits of collaboration in the restaurant really stood out to Kelly and is a major theme of the e-book. She described it as a \u201cdifferent mindset\u201d than the competitive one the industry used to have. Cloud technology has enabled different companies to work together inside the restaurant which leads to a win win situation.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Data Must Be Actionable<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cActionable data\u201d is an overused phrase at this point, but it\u2019s true. It\u2019s easier than ever to gather data, but if you can\u2019t do something with it, you don\u2019t need it at all.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Specialize<\/h2>\n<p>The industry is trading jacks of all trades in favor of specialized tech solutions. It seems that no single company can adequately meet the needs of restaurateurs in every aspect of operations, so stick with what you\u2019re good at.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Hospitality Is Transforming<\/h2>\n<p>Kelly pointed out that another overused phrase is \u201cnew normal\u201d, but that no one knows what the new normal really looks like. It\u2019s evolving every day, so flexibility is key.<\/p>\n<h2>5.
