The AI Secret for Restaurant GMs.

Описание: AI is everywhere in the restaurant industry - but 90% of restaurant AI projects fail.

In this episode, Roger sits down with Carl Orsbourn to unpack why most AI initiatives don’t scale, how weak restaurant systems sabotage technology, and what smart operators do differently.

If you're evaluating AI for restaurants, upgrading tech, or trying to improve profitability, this conversation will give you clarity before you invest another dollar.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why most restaurant AI projects fail
• The real problem with disconnected restaurant systems
• Why leadership matters more than software
• AI + bad data = disaster
• The “Smart GM” mindset in a digital world
• How to align technology with profit goals

AI isn’t the fix. Strong systems and stronger leadership are.
