The AI-Powered Restaurant: Driving Site-Level Adoption at Scale
The most sophisticated AI model is only as valuable as the site-level action it inspires across your portfolio. While the hospitality industry often gets caught up in the "black box" of new technology, this webinar will centre on the human element: how to drive genuine tech adoption among your General Managers and front-line teams across dozens or hundreds of locations.
We are moving beyond speculative ROI to break down the concrete benchmarks that define success. In this virtual session, we will discuss the specific KPIs—from reducing labour overtime by 10% to achieving 90%+ forecast accuracy for prep and rostering—that prove whether your AI investment is actually moving the needle on your consolidated P&L.
Time: 2 PM - 3 PM AEST - Sydney Time

GOPIZZA
Meet Jaewon Lim (Jay), the founder and Global CEO of GOPIZZA. His journey kicked off in 2016 with the humble beginnings of a food truck operation right by the Han River in Seoul, Korea. Fast forward to today, and GOPIZZA boasts an impressive 200 outlets across seven countries and substantial funding of 50 million USD, firmly establishing itself as the most valuable Food & Beverage startup in South Korea.
Jay's accomplishments have garnered recognition on a global scale. In 2019, Forbes Asia acknowledged his achievements by naming him one of the "30 Most Influential CEOs Under 30." The Financial Times recognized GOPIZZA as one of the rapidly emerging companies in the Asia Pacific region in 2021 and 2022. He was asked to join an economic delegation to the United States alongside the President of Korea in 2023. This remarkable experience led him to the President's Office, where he showcased GOPIZZA's innovative technology and personally served pizza to distinguished figures, including top conglomerate leaders and the President himself.

2:05 PM - 2:20 PM Speaking Session
- Nick Palamaras, Commercial Account Executive, Crunchtime
2:20 PM - 2:35 PM AI Trends of QSR
AI is no longer a future consideration for QSR businesses — it is already inside the core of how decisions get made, shifting control from human led choice to system driven selection. In this session, Emma Pitfield, Partner at KPMG, will share what they are seeing across clients, explaining how this change is affecting customer discovery, menu and offer visibility and day to day operational decisions, often before a customer actively engages.
The session will focus on the practical implications for QSR leaders and conclude with clear priorities for 2026, outlining where leaders should focus to ensure AI scales resilience and performance rather than amplifying existing weaknesses.
