A specialized resource devoted to keeping you current with the latest developments in restaurant information technology.
The Information Technology Expert Exchange offers you the opportunity to assess roll-outs, highlight wins, talk through issues and learn directly from other IT leaders in the industry. Whether you need guidance on website accessibility, mobile device management, loss prevention, PCI compliance, or payments, this group is your window into what fellow restaurant industry leaders are doing and which strategies work best.
As an added value for our members, the Information Technology Expert Exchange has a Listserv. The Listserv is an effective way to ask your colleagues questions, share news, and contribute to discussions on issues important to professionals in your field. To be eligible, you must work full-time in the field of information technology (or related-field) for a company that is a restaurant member of the National Restaurant Association. Click here to subscribe to the Listserv.
Once you join the list, simply send your email messages to technology@lists.restaurant.org. Your message goes to everyone who is subscribed to the list.
Our Expert Exchange Gatherings are a way for our communities to connect virtually. These are collaborative, informal, operator-led events, and they’re intended to touch on topics that are pressing and relevant to your jobs and to the restaurant industry as a whole. If you attend, you will get the opportunity to meet online with your peers, share, learn, and ask questions in an engaging and safe peer-to-peer environment. At a time when we cannot meet in-person, the need for connection is more important than ever. We are pleased to offer these Gatherings across all our communities on a recurring basis.
Please note the majority of our Gatherings are for National Restaurant Association members only. If you are interested in participating or curious when the next Gathering will be held, you may opt-in here to the community of your choice, and gain access to our upcoming Gatherings.
