The Sales Hacker Podcast

Episode Summary
AI is here to stay, and restaurants must follow the trend to stay relevant and grow. However, regardless of the concern around it, technology will not replace human staff. Instead, you can use it to provide an exceptional customer experience. In this episode of Sales Hacker, we are joined by Brandon Barton, a hospitality tech entrepreneur, to discuss his career path, especially his transition from the non-tech to the tech side of the business. Brandon explains the role of AI in the hospitality space and how it can help enrich customer experience. He also talks about his transition into the C-Suite and becoming the CEO of Bite. Finally, Brandon shares valuable advice for anyone who is considering a career change but fears that it is a mistake.
