Why the pandemic left restaurants relying more heavily on technology for FF&E logistics
Layoffs from a corporate level have left restaurants and hotels trying to manage projects with fewer people, leading to a heavier reliance on technology and logistics partnerships to drive business forward.
How Dark Kitchens May Impact Your Supply Chain
This concept enables restaurants to open in more industrial and affordable parts of cities without the need for front of house furniture and fixtures because these kitchens streamline the culinary process by delivering directly to customers’ doorsteps.
