COVID-19 has uprooted the hospitality sector, leaving many restaurants — including Wichita-based Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers — to think outside the box as means for survival. At the onset of the pandemic, the 400-unit chain implemented a machine-learning program through Amazon to gather insights and maximize sales, according to Sean Thompson, Freddy's director of information technology. His team used the data to make staffing and operational decisions. "I can tell you that it cut our decision times down," Thompson said during an interview with FastCasual. "And when you're trying to react, especially in a pandemic, to things like that,...

Dark data is data that isn’t managed within an IT-approved, rigorous rules-based technical workflows and business processes data architecture. Dark data is often collected but not used, such as operational logging data which is archived in a data lake but not accessed. However, this standard definition of dark data often ignores a much more valuable type of dark data: data that is already in use (such as offline data in spreadsheets or third party systems) but which isn’t integrated into the enterprise’s data architecture. This segment of dark data has greater associated...

An often over-looked aspect of data analytics is that the technology’s purpose shouldn’t just be to allow us to do things better, but to explore ways of doings things differently, with new behaviors. In other words, data and analytics should be complemented by curiosity, at both a personal and an organizational level. That was the intriguing premise behind a customer discussion at the recent Domopalooza 2021 conference which explored how a culture of exploration can be encouraged across various business sectors, particularly among users who are not data analysts by qualification or inclination, as well as how to foster a...

There have been many challenges placed on a host of business sectors during the COVID crisis, but this one, articulated by Domo CEO Josh James, is one that has been common to the QSR (Quick Service Restaurant - a.k.a fast food) industry over the past year.

A global company that serves millions of consumers at 50,000 restaurants across more than 150 countries and territories, Yum! has had ‘a good war’ when it...
