Last week Restaurant Magazine reported a "worrying trend' in UK hospitality. For the third month in a row, business insolvencies had risen.

Unsurprisingly then, quick service restaurants (QSRs) are under more pressure than ever to deliver speed, consistency, and value, all the while managing tight margins and unpredictable supply chains.

So what can they do to make themselves more resilient to market fluctuations? Read our blog on the subject to find out...

The opening day of Executive Platforms' North American Food Safety & Quality Series, saw Sara Mortimore and Eduardo Martínez Debeza take to the NAFS stage to chat about AI and predictive analytics in food safety with Peter Begg and Lee Perry.

Our President for the US, Kyle Anderson, was there to report back. "It was a really insightful session."

"Sara stressed how important timely access to data is to the industry. Having so much information is a struggle, so it’s vital that access is easy and it can be easily managed.

"She also touched on how to use data to validate food safety programmes and why access to visualisation can help make sense of lots of data.

For Eduardo, AI usage held the key to greatly reducing the resource required in things like specification management, giving foods businesses the ability to go faster and with more accuracy."
