I'm fascinated with how technology and hospitality are intersecting, and baffled at how slow our industry is to adopt new ways of doing things. I put out a call to listeners, asking for anyone who wanted to discuss the subject on the show. Well, I'm thrilled to say that Saleem Khatri answered that call. He is the CEO of Lavu, which as many of you know, was the original iPad POS software. In just 10 years they've captured huge market share and have expanded their offerings to include a bunch of new services: credit card processing, in-store kiosks, and more. 

Saleem gets to peak behind the curtains of thousands of restaurants, and so he brings a unique perspective to this conversation. He has ideas for how restaurant owners can make their businesses more profitable, predictions about the future, and most importantly... the data to back it all up. 

This week's episode is a bit of a departure from our normal interview format, but I think there's a lot of great insights to take away.
