Join us at FSTEC 2024 in Dallas, Texas, where Branded Hospitality’s Michael Schatzberg chats with Qu’s CEO, Amir Hudda, to discuss the launch of the kitchen of the future: Qu’s Smart Kitchen.

Moments to listen for:

The Kitchen Has Been Left Behind Online ordering has exploded from 5% to 25-50% of business for many operators — but kitchen technology hasn't kept up. "Kitchens of today have not had any way to keep up with how the restaurant business model has changed."

It's Not One Product — It's a Suite Amir reframes what a smart kitchen actually means for operators dealing with orders from every direction. "When we talk about smart kitchen, it's not one product. It's a whole suite of products that come together to bring the kitchen forward."

The Drive-Thru Stakes "If the line backs up, the next car is gonna pull in, see the line, and drive out. There goes your revenue."
