  • A Must Listen Podcast for Restauranteurs

    Being at the forefront of the Digital Hospitality space for a while now, Shawn is able to share immense value for business owners in the hospitality space! I had the opportunity to jump on a quick call with him to discuss where I was stuck in my restaurant and he got right into a few actionable steps and helped me understand things at a deeper level. All class and service here, subscribed and ready to become a Digital Media Company, here’s to raising all tides and ships!
