With a mission to revolutionize the dining experience, SevenRooms has unveiled its latest product feature, Pre-Shift – a game-changer for the restaurant industry.  As labor shortages continue challenging the sector, Pre-Shift emerges as the beacon of efficiency. This cutting-edge tool empowers restaurant teams globally by streamlining pre-service meetings, replacing tedious paper reports with dynamic, real-time data presentations about each guest for the upcoming shift. Listen in as Austen elaborates on how Pre-Shift harnesses rich customer data to offer invaluable insights like dining preferences, allergy information, and past reviews.
