Greetings, members and readers of the Global Business Scholars community! My name is Joanna Jia, an incoming Junior and your Executive Vice President. Today we will discuss an undeniable force that is reshaping the business process: artificial intelligence (AI). As we see unheard-of advances in AI technology, it's important to examine how this effective tool is changing the way companies - especially restaurants - operate.
AI has quickly changed from a futuristic concept to a tangible reality. One area where AI makes a big impact is customer service. AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants are becoming increasingly popular in restaurants, offering 24/7 support, handling reservations, and providing personalized recommendations. By using AI algorithms, restaurants can analyze customer data, including preferences, dietary restrictions, and past orders. This allows them to offer personalized menu suggestions. For instance, a restaurant may utilize AI to recommend vegetarian options to a customer based on their previous orders or indicated preferences. Such personalization not only enhances customer satisfaction but also boosts revenue potential! Personalization not only increases customer satisfaction but also increases potential revenue!

Furthermore, AI is changing table management in restaurants. Intelligent systems powered by AI can analyze real-time data, including reservations, walk-ins, and table turnover rates. By accurately predicting table availability, AI algorithms help restaurants maximize their seating capacity, reduce customer wait times, and improve overall dining experiences.
However, with all this, it’s crucial to recognize the important coexistence of human experience and AI technology. While AI enhances performance, personalization, and operational excellence, it is the human touch and creativity that continue to create the soul of a restaurant. After all, AI cannot hold face to face personal and emotional conversations - for now at least. It is this mixture of human talent and technological innovation where we discover the true magic of the dining experience.
