May 8-May 14
Do you have any news you’d like to share?
Almost 4,000 students participated in our recent Capital One/JA Finance Park mobile, which teaches personal money management skills.
If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be?
I would want to change the pace we live our lives. Many of us are going so quickly we’ve lost the ability to con-nect with one another in meaningful ways.
What has been your most ex-citing professional project to date?
Working toward a permanent home for our Finance Park and BizTown programs. When you see how the programs are a game changer for stu-dents, it’s impossible not to be driven to make it a reality for all of our kids to experience.
How does the Las Vegas com-munity stack up in terms of phi-lanthropy?
Las Vegas is a generous and car-ing community. However, we still are young compared with other cities when it comes to how we do philan-thropy. I believe this can be a positive problem, though. We have the oppor-tunity to learn from others’ mistakes. What is most promising is that many groups in our community are address-ing the areas I would note as most problematic, such as our community volunteers understanding the role and responsibilities of board members or how supporting a nonprofit’s overhead costs can drive program expansion.
What inspired you to work in the nonprofit field?
I joined nonprofit by accident. I was raised to give back and help those in need, but nonprofit is really about changing the world we live in. This truth and the variety I get to experi-ence is what inspired me to make this my field.
What have been the most sur-
prising lessons you’ve learned working at Junior Achieve-ment?
The majority of parents don’t talk about household finances with their kids. Also, more than 30 percent of us do not have retirement savings and plan never to retire.
What are the biggest financial mistakes Las Vegans make?
Determining the difference be-tween our wants and needs. It makes me chuckle because in our kindergar-ten programming, this is one of the main lessons we teach.
If students can understand that what they are learning in school today will affect their future tomorrow and are given the life skills to make better choices with the resources they have, they can achieve their dreams.
What’s the most crucial piece of advice you have for someone who wants to advance in an or-ganization?Don’t wait to be told what training you need and don’t wait for the organiza-tion to provide it. If you know you are lacking an important skill that could help you advance in your career, make it a priority. Your future will never
be as important to anyone else as it should be to you.
What qualities are most es-sential in a good employee or workplace?
A good employee must be a team player who can see how each person, from the janitor to the manager, has important responsibilities that allow others to meet their goals. They also recognize that the success of the busi-ness rarely rests on the efforts of just one person.
A good workplace is supportive of employees’ personal and professional goals.
What is your favorite team-building exercise?
Having everyone list things they have in common: traits, likes, dislikes, places traveled, etc. When people see they have similar experiences and cir-c*mstances, barriers come down and communication can happen.
Describe your management style.
Inclusive. Like most people, I’ve had really great and really poor leadership over me during my career. I’ve always been the “why” person, even as a kid.
I want to understand why it’s the best way to do something, and if it’s not, then let’s discuss how we can make it better. By listening to others’ insights, we can learn from their experiences and avoid pitfalls. At the end of the day, I may have to make a decision that doesn’t win favor with my team, but they know I considered their opinions and have all of our best interests in mind.
What is your dream job, outside of your current field?
To own an art-based business and be able to create artwork through my fa-vorite mediums of painting and refin-ishing. It’s therapeutic, and you share a common soul string when someone loves what you’ve created. It’s like giv-ing the person a piece of who you are.
If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be?
It would always be a choice of where my loved ones live. I can think of many places I’ve seen and loved the natural environment of, but without the peo-ple I care about most, it would never satisfy me.
Whom do you admire and why?I admire the people who serve on our
board of directors at Junior Achieve-ment. I have never experienced such complete dedication from a group. They give up time with their families and friends to make our community a better place for everyone.
What is your biggest pet peeve?Lack of consideration for others and
not taking the time to consider how your choices will affect those around you.
Where do you like to go for business lunches?
My favorite spots are Khoury’s and Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza.
What is something people might not know about you?
I grew up in a small town in North-ern Nevada with only 75 people in my high school graduating class, and I went to both UNR and UNLV.

What inspired you to cre-
ate Fruits & Roots? Why Las
Vegas?
The concept sprouted in 2010 after I had hit a wall try-ing to find healthy food options that were fast and con-venient. It began to take root over the next few years with a compilation of recipes and notes that I scribbled as I cooked for family and friends, and random visions of design. In 2012, I had premature twins and my hobby turned into a fervent passion. My twins were born at 27 weeks with life-threatening complications. I read every book on health I could get my hands on, looking to ensure I gave my babies every chance at a healthy life. Outside of love, it became obvious that a nutritious diet was the best thing I could do for my babies to overcome any issues they may have due to their prematurity. When they began pre-K and I couldn’t take them anywhere for a healthy snack, I decided to take the concept from notes to reality.
What is cold-pressed juice?
Cold-pressed juice is a process in which tons of pressure is applied to fresh fruits and veggies via a hydraulic press to extract their juice, without the application of nutrient-killing heat. You’re left with unprocessed, antioxidant-rich, liquid goodness that hits you on a cellular level.
What is your business philosophy?
We believe in the importance of fueling our bodies with real food, direct from Mother Nature. We make everything in house from scratch and without un-natural and unhealthy fillers. If it’s not nutritious, we won’t serve it. And contrary to some people’s opinion, healthy doesn’t have to be tasteless.
What is the hardest part about doing business in Las
Vegas?
It can be frustrating at times to compete in a market with businesses that aren’t transparent about the prod-ucts they serve. It is difficult to bite your tongue knowing what others market as healthy is far from it.
What is the best part about doing business here?
Las Vegans tend to support movements with passion. The food movement is just making way and the com-munity is definitely embracing it. Being able to provide a nutritious option in fast food and seeing such a positive response is gratifying. We are opening our second loca-tion soon at Town Square and have no plans to stop there.

Corporate philanthropy: How and why companies give
H ow philanthropic is Nevada? It depends — on whom you ask, where you look and how you measure it. According to
the Chronicle of Philanthropy, residents of the Silver State increased their giving the most over every other state pre- and postrecession, but individuals are only one piece of the philanthropy pie. What about Nevada’s businesses?
This question lacked an answer until recently. In 2013, the Nevada Corporate Giving Council, Moonridge Group Philanthropy Catalysts and Applied Analysis launched the first Nevada Corporate Philanthropy Survey to analyze where, why and how companies invest in our community. The survey received responses from the leading industries including hospitality, mining, banking and food and beverage. The 2013 Nevada Corporate Philanthropy Report was the first of its kind for the Silver State, but also one of the first reports of this nature for the entire country. Applied Analysis recently shared findings from 2014:
n Total estimated giving: $134.4Mn Giving per employee: $487 (average amount employees
donate of their own money)n Volunteer hours: 260,460n Where companies give: 34.1 percent health and social
services; 12.8 percent arts and culture; 12.2 percent civic
and public affairs; 10.3 percent education; 6.2 percent environment; 2.2 percent community infrastructure; 1.3 percent higher education; 0.2 percent disaster relief; 20.7 percent other or unknown.
The report is useful for corporate funders and nonprofit organizations. For funders, it provides an overview of how others give and provides a basis for comparison. For nonprofits, it provides an inside look into the giving strategies of funders.
Key lessons from a funder’s perspective include: n Relationship-building is key: Messages addressed “To
whom it may concern” are less likely to receive a response. Keep in mind, the philanthropy chair or authority represents the company, not their personal interests, when making investments in the community.
n The money pot is not bottomless: There are more requests than there are corporations able to fulfill them. Nevada companies are philanthropic but also selective and strategic in their giving.
n Swim with the current, not upstream: Many funders give to specific sectors. Identify prospects that align with your mission.
Julie Murray is CEO and principal of the Moonridge Group Philanthropy Catalysts. Brianna Lawrence, also of Moonridge, is the project manager for the Nevada Corporate Giving Council.

With new corporate name, Station Casinos IPO raises more than $531 millionBy j.d. morrisStaff Writer
Shares of Red Rock Resorts Inc., the new corporate name of Station Casinos, began publicly trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market late last month after the company raised more than $531 million in its initial public offering.
The Las Vegas-based company announced that it and ex-isting shareholders had priced 27.25 million shares at $19.50 apiece, right in the middle of the expected range of $18 to $21. Red Rock’s shares, traded under the symbol RRR, were down 4.1 percent to $18.70 at the close of its first day on the market.
In connection with the IPO, Red Rock has said it planned to buy Fertitta Entertainment, the Fertitta family company that has managed Station’s business, for $460 million, ac-cording to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commis-sion.
CEO Frank Fertitta III and his brother Lorenzo, a director of the company, each will receive $113.5 million of those pro-ceeds after debt is paid off, the filings said. Trusts for their six children will receive $106.8 million.
Fertitta family entities are expected to hold about 87 per-cent of the voting power after the IPO.
“We believe the owner-operator dynamic of the Fertitta family’s continued leadership, together with its significant ownership, results in a high degree of alignment with our shareholders,” the company said in SEC filings.
This isn’t the first time Station has been a public company: It previously went public in 1993 but was taken private in a management-led buyout in 2007. Wounded by the recession, Station filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009 and complet-ed a restructuring in 2011.
Marc Falcone, Station’s chief financial officer, told state gaming regulators in January that the company had seen consistent revenue growth recently and that its operating margins had “improved dramatically.”
Station significantly reduced its leverage and cut debt by more than $400 million, which gave the company “one of the best balance sheets in the gaming industry today,” he said.
Station owns 19 large and small casinos in Southern Ne-vada, including its flagship Red Rock Resort in Summerlin, Green Valley Ranch in Henderson and the off-Strip Palace Station on Sahara Avenue.
Despite its new corporate name, the company still will be known to customers as Station Casinos, officials have said.
The IPO has been met with criticism from the Unite Here union, whose Las Vegas affiliates — the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and the Bartenders Union Local 165 — have long clashed with Station as they have attempted to organize there.
A Unite Here gaming analyst said in a statement last month that there were “many red flags surrounding this pricey second-class IPO.” The union cited concerns about the Fertitta Entertainment transaction, the health of the Las Vegas locals gaming market and other issues.

Owners of Tivoli Village have an-nounced plans to open the Las Vegas property’s expansion, but their confirmed tenant lineup appears sparse.
The expansion — part of Tivoli’s original plans last decade but shelved during the recession — would add roughly 300,000 square feet to the Mediterranean-themed retail and office project at Rampart Boule-vard and Alta Drive.
The new portion is expected to open in October, according to a news release.
Upscale home-furnishings retailer Res-toration Hardware plans to open a store in the expansion site, and Canter’s Deli, a Jewish-style eatery from Los Angeles, plans to open a restaurant there, as well.
The news release did not name any other tenants for the expansion, which is being built off Rampart, north of Tivoli’s existing buildings.
But it unveiled a crop of real estate brokers who, in working to sign tenants, would use “their expertise to help fully realize the completed vision of Tivoli,” ac-cording to Noam Ziv, CEO of Tivoli owner IDB Group USA.
The expansion has been a long time coming. Built during the boom years last decade, Tivoli was supposed to open in 2009 with about 500,000 square feet of re-tail and 200,000 square feet of offices, but the real estate bust and recession threw a wrench in those plans.
Developers considered mothballing the project, as other investors did with par-tially built projects throughout the valley,
but chose to build in phases instead.The first portion opened in spring 2011.
Management said in fall 2012 that the sec-ond and final phase — the current expan-sion — was expected to be completed in late 2013. But construction didn’t begin until fall 2013, and at that time, the devel-opers expected to finish in spring 2015.
Besides Restoration Hardware and Canter’s Deli, other tenants for the new portion have reportedly been in the works at one point or another.
A real estate broker told VEGAS INC last summer that hotel group Kimpton — known for sleek designs, pet-friendly properties and, as the broker put it, “good people watching” — had been in talks to open a hotel there in late 2016 or early 2017.
At the time, a Kimpton spokesperson said, “We don’t have any news to share. ... I look forward to talking with you down the road.”
Also, New York brokerage firm the Carlton Group said in 2014 that discount clothing chain H&M had signed a lease for a 25,000-square-foot store at Tivoli’s ex-pansion site.
Carlton disclosed the news as part of the announcement that IDB, an Israeli conglomerate, had hired Carlton to sell a 50 percent stake in its Las Vegas real es-tate holdings, including Tivoli.
H&M, however, announced in February that it planned to open a 20,000-square-foot store this year at Downtown Sum-merlin, an open-air mall about 4 miles from Tivoli on Sahara Avenue at the 215 Beltway.

After passing on hundreds of acres at government auctions last year, Las Vegas land investors scooped up almost every-thing offered last month and paid above the asking price.
The Bureau of Land Management said it sold 818.66 acres at auction for $94.5 mil-lion combined. The federal agency offered 846.16 acres for no less than $85.4 million combined.
All of the successful bidders have paid the required 20 percent of their purchase price, the BLM said. The remainder is due within 180 days, or by Oct. 24.
The buyers included homebuilders American West Homes and D.R. Horton, commercial developer Lewis Group of Companies and apartment developer Ne-vada West Partners.
In May 2015, investors bought almost 358 acres at auction for $19.2 million, passing on 240 acres. In November, about 260 acres sold for $32.6 million, leaving 365 acres on the table.

Reaping a windfall from record profits, Allegiant Air boss Maurice “Maury” Gallagher booked a near-ly $3 million bonus last year, far above his usual pay-out, the company disclosed.
Gallagher, chairman and CEO of parent Allegiant Travel Co., doesn’t take a base salary but is the low-cost carrier’s largest shareholder. With 20.5 per-cent of its stock, his holdings were valued around $545 million.
He also has received a bonus almost every year since 2007. It normally ranged between $100,000 and $200,000 until it bounced up to around $547,000 in 2014, securities filings show.
According to a filing with the Securities and Ex-change Commission, Gallagher received a bonus of $2,926,633 last year.
In the filing, Las Vegas-based Allegiant said the 66-year-old Gallagher “expects to continue to serve without a base salary into the future.” Allegiant’s compensation committee included him last year in the “cash bonus pool and also granted him stock-based awards to reward him for our company’s in-dustry-leading profit margins,” the filing said.
The filing also said Gallagher was expected to “participate in future equity grants and the annual
cash bonus” at the committee’s discretion, and the amount he received “will depend on our profitabil-ity in relation to our expectations and other relevant factors.”
Allegiant, with low base fares and a bevy of add-on fees, flies mostly from small, underserved cities to warm-weather vacation spots. The carrier booked $220 million in profit last year — more than 2 1/2 times above the nearly $87 million it earned in 2014.
The soaring profits came amid plunging fuel costs.Allegiant consumed about 150 million gallons of
jet fuel last year, up 16 percent from 2014, but overall it spent $278 million on fuel, down 28 percent.
Its average cost per gallon last year was $1.86, down 38 percent from 2014.
News of Gallagher’s bonus comes after Allegiant announced in March that he had sold 292,200 shares of Allegiant stock at a price of $163.50 apiece, generating a $47.8 million payday.
Allegiant said Gallagher planned “to use the pro-ceeds primarily to retire outstanding debt for exist-ing personal ventures.”
“I remain as committed to Allegiant as the day I started with the company,” Gallagher said in the news release announcing the sale. “The Allegiant business model has demonstrated its resiliency in any environment and is only getting stronger.”

Raiders owner says he is willing to spend $500 million to move NFL team to Las VegasBy j.d. morrisStaff Writer
Oakland Raiders owner Mark Da-vis said recently he was serious about moving his team to Las Vegas and of-fered a half-billion-dollar pledge for a proposed $1.4 billion, 65,000-seat domed football stadium.
Davis told an influential tourism committee gathered at UNLV that the Raiders would put up $500 mil-lion toward the stadium if Nevada legislators approved public funding for the project and other NFL owners allowed the team to relocate.
Those significant obstacles would remain in the way of the stadium project, even after it’s been thor-oughly vetted by the tourism panel.
“We do want to be your partners. We’re not coming in looking for a free handout,” Davis said. “I want to tell you what I told Gov. Sandoval a few weeks ago: Together, we can turn the Silver State into the Silver and Black State.”
Overall, the stadium would be paid for with $750 million in public mon-ey and $650 million in private funds, backers told the 11-member commit-tee of leaders from Nevada’s public and private sectors.
The public portion of the stadium cost could come from taxes on ho-tel rooms. Some $200 million of the Raiders’ contribution would come from an NFL loan.
Davis appeared alongside soccer star David Beckham, as well as execu-tives from casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Majestic Realty Co. and others, to make the case for the proposed stadium.
Sands and Majestic would most likely build the facility on 42 acres owned by UNLV on Tropicana Av-enue near Koval Lane. The South-ern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee could help them secure some public money for the project, though it does not have the final say.
While the idea of the Raiders mov-ing to Las Vegas has been met with some skepticism about whether NFL owners would allow a team in the U.S. gambling capital, Davis said he would make the league an “offer they can’t refuse.” He also said a move to Las Vegas would be a “lifetime commit-ment” for him.
If built, the stadium would host UNLV football games and other large
events, but its most-discussed use would be for an NFL team — specifi-cally the Raiders. Beckham, who has had a professional relationship with Sands in Asia, also addressed its po-tential to host big soccer matches.
“To bring a great organization like the Raiders to somewhere like Vegas is incredible but ... it’s bigger than that. It’s a bigger idea. It’s about the MLS coming here; it’s about bringing the biggest European teams here,” Beckham said.
Committee members — including elected officials and resort executives — pressed for more details on such areas as the project’s funding and the timeline for getting NFL approval to move the Raiders. Among the mem-bers, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Good-man and UNLV President Len Jessup appeared to be particularly enthusi-astic supporters.
Steve Hill, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Devel-opment, who chairs the committee, said he wanted to meet with stadium backers soon to develop a separate analysis that the panel could con-sider at a later meeting. That would resemble the approach the panel has taken to another big-ticket proposal — the expansion and renovation of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The stadium proposal took a big step forward with Davis’ appearance at UNLV, but it is by no means a sure thing.
Even if it receives a favorable rec-ommendation from the infrastruc-ture committee, the project likely
will require a special session of the Legislature to secure funding in a timely fashion. And a relocation of the Raiders would need approval from 24 of the NFL’s 32 team owners.
Supporters were confident those hurdles could be overcome.
Sands and Majestic have proposed the creation of a Clark County Stadi-um Authority that would be in charge of designing, financing, building and operating the new stadium. The au-thority would be made up of five members — two appointed by Sands and Majestic, two appointed by Gov. Brian Sandoval and one appointed by the Clark County Commission.
The companies would want a tax increment district in the area around the stadium. Details would still need to be ironed out, but Majestic execu-tive Craig Cavileer said the district would help the stadium’s private backers get a return on their invest-ment.
“We invest $650 million, and in re-turn we have a stadium that we oper-ate. And we also have the tax district, which gives us a refund, if you will, on an annualized basis for whatever in-crement we create,” Cavileer said at a news conference.
“We created the increment; we’d like to have that in order to create a revenue stream to fund the proper-ty,” he said.
Even before Davis and Beckham came into the meeting, a contingent of Raider fans was on hand nearby to show support for bringing the team to Las Vegas. One of them, local resi-
dent Richard Cervera, 47, stood out-side the meeting room holding a sign that showed the Raiders logo sur-rounded by the outline of Nevada in black.
Cervera said the Raiders “would do a lot for Las Vegas,” including of-fering another attractive activity for tourists. But he wasn’t convinced the team would actually move here.
“It’s a coin flip,” he said. “I’m hop-ing.”
The stadium wasn’t the only item on the agenda for the infrastructure committee. The meeting began with a discussion about the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s $1.4 billion plan to expand and reno-vate its convention center.
The authority wants to build a con-vention facility at the site of the shut-tered Riviera and renovate its facility across Paradise Road.
Hill introduced a proposal for funding that work. The proposal, as fleshed out further by Jeremy Aguero of Applied Analysis, involves a 0.5 percent to 0.6 percent increase in the room tax rate and capping the local government room tax collection al-lowance at $25 million annually.
Backers of the convention center and stadium projects have clashed at times, as both have indicated they may need room tax money.
MGM Resorts International has been a vocal supporter of the conven-tion center, with CEO Jim Murren arguing forcefully against diverting room tax dollars from that project to-ward the stadium plan.
A spokesman for MGM Resorts emailed a statement after the meet-ing saying the infrastructure com-mittee had “unanimously signaled a consensus” that the convention cen-ter project should move forward.
“We are as excited as everyone in having David Beckham and the lead-ership of the Raiders come to our town, but we are even more pleased and excited to witness the commit-ment to the convention and trade show industry that supports tens of thousands of jobs and opportunities for everyone in our community,” the statement said.
The infrastructure committee can’t give final approval to either project, but it will send recommen-dations on those and other proposals to the governor in July.

BIGGEST NEWS.
restaurant technology, from page 1
Wi-Fi becoming a factor in dining decisionsconsumers. While digital pioneers like national pizza chains are recog-nized for well-integrated technology, relatively few consumers strongly agreed that a restaurant they recently visited used technology to improve their experience, indicating a big op-portunity across the industry.
“Technology-friendly service in restaurants has become important to consumers broadly, and to millen-nials and Generation Z customers, it’s essential,” says Colleen Rothman, manager of consumer insights for Technomic. “Consumers will con-tinue to look to pizza chains and fast-casual brands for the latest and great-est digital platforms, but they also will expect all restaurants to integrate many technologies that have become a fact of daily life everywhere. Mobile apps for loyalty points and rewards, free Wi-Fi, and mobile ordering and payment will grow more important in the years ahead.”
According to over 100,000 consum-ers polled by Technomic’s Consumer Brand Metrics program, nearly 2 in 5 called loyalty and rewards programs important or very important to their decision to visit a restaurant. The percentage was even greater among millennial customers, 50 percent of whom called digital-loyalty offerings important for limited-service restau-rants, and 53 percent for full-service restaurants. Millennials also attached greater importance than the overall population to free Wi-Fi, online or mobile ordering, and mobile pay-ment, regardless of restaurant indus-try segment. The implication is clear.
“Being too slow to adopt technology can be detrimental to the operator,” says Rachel Royster, Technomic’s se-nior coordinator of editorial content. “Consumers are quickly responding to new technology and adding it to their everyday activities. To stay com-petitive, restaurants should incorpo-rate some kind of technology. Even simple initiatives like partnering with a delivery service like Grub Hub can make the difference in consumer per-ception.”
Adjusting to the Flow“In the past few years, we’ve seen a
lot of growth in all these areas,” says Ben Sabouri, owner of Shift Hospi-tality, which develops and manages restaurant and nightlife venues and MTO Café, which has two locations in
Las Vegas. “Even though the restau-rant experience itself hasn’t changed as quickly as technology, I think ev-eryone has had to adjust the flow of their operations to the speed of tech.”
MTO Cafés accept online and mo-bile orders in real time while servic-ing in-store customers. “We have had to adjust to keep both those experi-ences positive for the guest,” Sabouri explains. “You may have 20 to-go or delivery orders and 20 customers dining in-house. You have to be re-ally aware that half your guests got in a car and drove to have an experience at your place, and you need to keep them happy with short-ticket times and great service. But you can’t let the pickup or delivery orders suffer.” Those customers, he says, have the same expectation “in an even shorter fashion because all they are doing is waiting on a time that you promised their food would be ready by.”
Sabouri has found that “the evolu-tion of technology is a struggle for any restaurant. We are often faced with the question of how to make sure that even with all these amazing tools that let us reach a broader audience, we (can) give them the best experience every time, regardless.” The issue is coming more to the fore, he adds, with the growth of mobile ordering and re-wards systems.
“I’ve been watching our mobile or-dering grow by double digits over the past few years,” Sabouri says, “to the point where we have had to change systems twice in order to make the process seamless for the guest.”
When it comes to rewards points, Sabouri and his colleagues “look at it as a better version of a punch card on your phone. The value or the offer hasn’t really changed. I do think com-panies like Starbucks and others have figured out how to tier those points in a successful model. By making me want to get that gold status for my rewards, it does make me think to go there first.”
erAsing PAin Points“Customers seem to be engaging
in those elements that streamline their specific experience with the brand, expedite and erase the typi-cal pain points with that brand, and help them consolidate/organize their lives,” notes David Bloom, executive vice president of business develop-ment and strategy for Synergy Res-taurant Consultants in Newport Beach, Calif. “For those reasons, brands that rely heavily on delivery, like Domino’s, have been highly suc-cessful with the online ordering/or-der tracking approach.” Brands that rely on a dine-in experience, such as Chili’s and Applebee’s, have been suc-cessful with table-top devices that give the consumer things to engage with, like gaming, adding on to orders and expedited payment methods.
Brands like Starbucks and Panera Bread “that depend on frequent, loyal users have been very success-ful with their focus on organizing and streaming the rewards programs and payment systems,” Bloom says. “It amazes me to see some airports
charging for Wi-Fi knowing that their core customer, the frequent business traveler, expects 24-hour access to Wi-Fi.” On the other hand, other air-ports now have tablets throughout terminals from which customers can order food, check email, book an-other trip or browse the Internet at no cost. “Which airport do you think frequent travelers would prefer when given a choice?”
Bloom and his colleagues work with many technology companies looking to invest in and enter the restaurant space, and he says they are “amazed at how rudimentary and un-user-friendly much of the cur-rent technology is in the restaurant space.” As more technology compa-nies enter the restaurant arena, he believes, “we may see a dramatic ac-celeration in the speed at which dif-ferent technologies are introduced, tested and deployed at scale.”
A word of caution may be in order. Hard as it may be to believe today, not everyone is comfortable with tech-nology in a dining-out setting. Wil-liam V. Eaton, chairman of the board of Cini-Little International Inc., a Maryland-based restaurant consul-tancy, says he wants “as little visible IT as possible associated with my meal in a restaurant. I want the tal-ent to experiment with the meal and make every one superior to the last while staying true to the principals of the original item. I do not want to order on a smartphone or at a kiosk. I don’t want a robot coming to the table and asking me and my guests, ‘Who ordered the fish?’ They can use as much technology in accounting, social media and for analyzing their results as they can, but don’t take the “culinary” out of dining.”
Restaurants can use technologies most effectively by making sure to choose vendors “that put the empha-sis on the guest experience and not the technology,” says Brandon Hull, founder of NextRestaurants, a mar-keting consultancy. “Too many on-line ordering platforms, for example, first require an online customer to provide their email address and se-lect a location before ordering. Those are two things that don’t happen in the real world of the dining experi-ence. Mimicking that experience is extremely important for the foresee-able future. It’s about speed and pa-tron convenience.”
