Executive Summary:

Although the masks have faded, the COVID-19 pandemic left an indelible mark on the restaurant industry. The post-COVID impact was felt across all facets of the industry including reservations, takeout and delivery, staffing, input pricing, marketing, and payments. While consumers have long since returned to in-person dining, demand for off-premise interactions and omni-channel experiences has not dissipated given the degree of convenience they provide. To solve these challenges, restaurants have turned to technology solutions in greater ways than ever before. In fact, a strong technology backbone has become table stakes across the industry. Fortunately, FinTech and other technology providers are rising to the occasion with tailored solutions that simplify complexity, streamline operations, reduce operating costs, and create a more seamless customer experience.
