During a restaurants downtime, it's still running costs such as rent, electricity, labor & so on. Monetizing downtime meansfilling up tables, sending out food deliveries, & bringing in more revenue.
Modern apps are innovating the restaurant down time space by advertising the ability to fill in empty tables & get the kitchen running again. We've invited various restaurant tech startups to learn about the value they offer to restaurants & how they help monetize downtime. We've also invited a restaurant owner to discuss his side of things & if these apps are really helping.
