Bone Daddies Steve Hill talks team, tech and 'menu engineering'
In a new video series from Peach 20/20 partner QSR Automations, Hill candidly discusses how they overcame the challenges of lockdown by putting people and customers at the heart of their survival and recovery and launching their hugely popular #Bone@home kits.
Equally important to preserving its brand and team spirit was optimising margin to keep cash flowing into the business. Hill outlines how QSR technology, and crucially the data ‘exhaust' it provides, enabled him to take informed menu engineering decisions, drive kitchen efficiencies and deliver both margin uplift and increased speed of service.
