Summary

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Juan George, cofounder of foodservice technology investment firm and consultancy 858 Partners. Juan was one of Olo’s earliest hires, and he’s had a front-row seat to the explosion in new technology tools, strategies, and services over the past 16 years. Now he’s giving back to the foodservice tech world through 858 Partners, alongside fellow cofounder Marty Hahnfeld and recent additions Jackie Berg and Seth Hall — all of whom are also Olo alums.

Juan offers a wealth of knowledge on the past, present, and future of restaurant technology, with insights that will help restaurant leaders on their own innovation journeys. He’ll continue the conversation as one of the speakers at CREATE: The Experience this Oct. 1-3 in Palm Springs, Calif.
