    #16 - Table 21 with Carl Orsbourn & Meredith Sandland
    Dec 28 2021
    Excited to receive the authors of the book "Delivering The Digital Restaurant", an important subject as the industry evolves and adapts to the current environment. Come listen to them as we discuss and shed light on some important topics for restaurant operators going into 2022 and beyond.

    Meredith Sandland spent two decades in consulting, corporate
    strategy, and restaurant development. After building 1000+ restaurants
    as the Chief Development Officer at Yum! Brands’ Taco Bell, Meredith
    observed that the on-demand economy was starting to affect restaurants.
    Meredith joined ghost kitchen start-up Kitchen United as employee #4 to
    create their business model, raise initial capital, and serve as the public face
    of the GV (Google Ventures) backed disruptor.

    Carl Orsbourn led BP-owned ampm and its billion-dollar grab-and-
    go food and beverage offering across the brand’s 1000+ convenience retail
    locations. At BP, Carl obsessed over consumer convenience and transformed
    ampm’s fresh food offerings to deliver record growth. In 2018, Carl joined
    Kitchen United to lead Operations, working with restaurant brands to
    reinvent an operating system that capitalized on the rapidly changing face of food delivery.
