I'm excited to share our latest episode of the Tech On Toast podcast, where we dive deep into the world of technology in the fine dining industry.

This week, we had the pleasure of visiting Benares in Mayfair, a Michelin-starred Indian restaurant, and speaking with Shubham and Mark from TISL. Together, we explored the challenges and triumphs of implementing technology in a bustling restaurant environment.Here are three key takeaways from our conversation that I believe are crucial for anyone in the tech or hospitality sectors:The Importance of Support: One of the standout themes from our discussion was the critical role that support plays in the success of technology implementation. Shubham emphasised how TISSL's support team is always just a phone call away, ready to resolve issues in real-time, even during the busiest hours. This level of accessibility not only alleviates stress but also ensures that operations run smoothly, allowing staff to focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences.Simplicity is Key: In a fast-paced environment like a restaurant, simplicity in technology is paramount. Both Shubham and Mark highlighted how TISSL's system is designed to be user-friendly, enabling staff to manage orders and make adjustments quickly, even from their phones.

This agility is essential for maintaining efficiency and minimising errors, especially during peak service times. It’s a reminder that technology should enhance operations, not complicate them.Building Strong Relationships: The relationship between Benares and TISSL is a testament to the power of collaboration and trust. After a brief period with another provider, Benares returned to TISSL, citing the reliability and support they received as key factors in their decision. This episode reinforces the idea that successful partnerships are built on understanding, communication, and a shared commitment to excellence.I invite you to listen to the full episode to gain deeper insights into how technology can transform the dining experience and the importance of having the right support system in place.Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this episode! Let’s continue the conversation about how we can leverage technology to create better experiences in our industries.#TechOnToast #Podcast #Hospitality #Technology #Support #Simplicity #Relationships #FineDining
