Will driverless deliveries reduce prices?

The Digital Restaurant

Imagine your dinner zooming to your doorstep, no driver in sight - that's the future we're unpacking as Waymo and Uber blaze trails with driverless deliveries right here in Arizona. The roads to cost reduction and safety enhancements are mapped out in a captivating discussion, where we navigate through the impact on tipping culture and the potential for marketplace delivery services to thrive. Then, in a personal twist, I share a laugh-out-loud debate: when celebrating milestones, should one opt for car-shaped dumplings or the real deal?
When the screens go dark and the systems crash, how do digital restaurants keep the burger flipping and the dough rising? We're examining the lessons learned from tech outages that left giants like McDonald's and Panera in a bind. With insights from industry experts, we strategize on defending against cyber threats and maintaining customer trust amidst digital disruption. Plus, we look beyond the IT department for answers, exploring how entire teams can become cyberspace sentinels.
Joining us for a riveting exchange, Priyam Saraswat from Vooch dives into the murky waters of chargebacks and 'friendly fraud,' a growing thorn in the side of restaurant revenues. With the younger crowd's slight of hand challenging operators, we rally the community to discuss tactics for shielding businesses from these sneaky setbacks. We also ponder the potential of driverless tech in easing these financial pains. Your thoughts on these pressing matters are not just welcomed, they're essential – let's stir up the conversation and cook up some tech-savvy solutions together.
