Karen Fewell, better known as Digital Blonde, is set to chair a thought-provoking debate at the Hospitality Show on Tuesday 20 January at 3:15pm – a date to note for your diary! The expert panel session is focused on technology and the dining experience and will explore the current trends when it comes to eating out.
Entitled ‘Should we switch on or switch off at the dining table?’ the session will look at consumer behaviour surrounding eating out and technologies such as the mobile phone, wearables and social media and how this impacts food marketing and customer service strategies.
Some of the best moments in life happen around a table when we are eating with the people we love. Technology has become such a big part of our lives and many businesses feel that to stay ahead they must integrate technology in their hospitality business. But when our lives are so busy and dining is such a special occasion is ‘more technology’ always the answer?
A panel of industry experts including Simon Stenning, Foodservice Strategy Director at Allegra Foodservice and My Ly, Senior Marketing Manager, YO! Sushi will discuss the role of technology in the dining experience. And panel chair, Karen Fewell, author of forthcoming book #FoodPorn, will reveal new research findings around food, psychology and technology and what these mean for food marketing strategies.
