How are restaurants catering their guest experiences to build loyalty these days? With technology and Digital Hospitality.

Toast POS (our amazing restaurant point-of-sale technology partner) wrapped up their Reimagined Restaurant Series in June 2021 with a panel discussion showcasing how restaurateurs, including Cali BBQ Media Founder Shawn Walchef, have learned to create great experiences for their guests with Digital Hospitality.

Reimagine Digital Hospitality (Presented by Toast in Partnership with Raydiant and Incentivio)

Creating a digital experience that is tailored for guests’ specific wants and needs can bring in more online orders and turn casual guest into happy regulars.

Kelly Esten, VP of Marketing for Toast, introduced the hospitality expert panel of restaurateurs which included Tanya Li (Flour Bakery + Cafe), Logan Hostettler (The 1894 Lodge), Sara Finnegan (Edley’s Bar-B-Que), and Shawn Walchef (Cali BBQ).
