SPEAKER QUOTES
"The next wave of value in restaurant tech won't come from novelty, it will come from platforms that turn AI into measurable margins for operators and a meaningfully better experience for guests. That's what's driving the consolidation we're seeing today, as strategics and PE race to assemble the operating system of modern hospitality." Joanna Stone, Partner, Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips
"We're not watching a slow evolution in restaurant tech, we're watching a compression event. AI is collapsing the stack, capital is chasing consolidation, and the operators who figure this out first are going to have a serious competitive advantage. Stack & Scale is about giving founders, investors, and operators the unfiltered view of what's actually happening and what to do about it." Jimmy Frischling, Co-Founder, Branded Hospitality & Senior Advisor, Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips
