The Challenge
A high-end restaurant chain with 12 locations across the country was facing several operational challenges:

- Difficulty accommodating dietary restrictions and allergies
- High staff turnover leading to knowledge gaps about menu items
The restaurant wanted to maintain its premium dining experience while modernizing operations and increasing efficiency. They needed a solution that would enhance the customer experience without feeling impersonal or overly technological.
