Today on 🍔Restaurant 🤖Tech 📈Trends I sit down with Amber Trendell, Senior Director of Strategy for Restaurants at Oracle — someone who lives at the intersection of restaurant operations and enterprise technology every single day.

📺WATCH AND LEARN📺

👉 Why kiosks and self-service are seeing triple-digit transaction growth between 2024-2026, and why the smarter upsell story (not just convenience) is the real driver behind that shift

👉 Where agentic AI workflows are being deployed across Oracle's stack, and why labor scheduling and inventory are the two areas ripest for "no longer needing to interact with a software application at all"

👉 How Oracle's PIER review framework (Payments, Integrations, Extensions, Reporting) is the secret sauce to avoiding the costly mistakes that derail enterprise POS rollouts

➕ PLUS: Amber's rapid fire answers on the most overrated restaurant tech trend right now (👀 dynamic pricing), the one metric CIOs need to care more about (hint: it happens in the kitchen 🍳), and her guilty pleasure fast food order. Spoiler: 🍕

Thank you Amber for the thoughtful conversation and for sharing such a grounded, enterprise-scale perspective on where restaurant tech is headed. 🚀
