Abstract
Today data is an increasingly important part of how restaurants create value, both on the demand side (how consumers choose a place to eat, make a reservation, give their order, and pay their bill) and the supply side (detailed preparation and food resource-management records that enable restaurants to optimize inventory and reduce waste).

Based on their research, the authors offer six strategies to guide strategic and operational decisions
