What does it take to modernize technology at a legacy restaurant brand while keeping operations simple for employees and guests?
Tim Newton, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Brand Operations at Long John Silver's, joins Shawn Walchef to discuss how better data, simpler systems, and thoughtful technology create better experiences for both operators and guests.
