Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RON CARDWELL: RTI / THE GREAT SEED OIL DEBATE
Q: How should operators handle allergen information for oils they source?
They should request an allergen statement from their supplier for each oil batch, ensure it is backed by testing, and have ready access to this documentation for customers or health inspections.
RON CARDWELL: RTI / THE GREAT SEED OIL DEBATE
Q: What are the key variables operators should consider when selecting an oil for their menu?
Flavor impact, functional performance in their kitchen, and price are the top three factors, with a close eye on how the oil behaves under high fry versus light fry operations.
RON CARDWELL: RTI / THE GREAT SEED OIL DEBATE
Q: In your day-to-day role, what does a Director of Commodity Strategy actually do in a restaurant technology company?
The role involves taking a macro view of oil availability, pricing, and supply across restaurant and renewable fuel sectors, then translating that into actionable guidance for menus, operations, and purchasing strategies.
NICHOLE BAJKO: SOH / THE HOSPITALITY MATCH MAKER / THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY IN THE SMALLEST WORLD
Q: The first question, and this has been burning literally since we were gonna chat is, what are your thoughts on the term headhunter? Is that a negative thing?
I don't use the term headhunter anymore; I think it's outdated and not representative of what we do. I prefer matchmaker because it captures the nuance of finding the right fit through relationships and deeper assessment.
HEATHER JOHNSON & AL SCHUSTER: SAMPLE FINDER / LETS PLAY A GAME / IS RETAIL ACTUALLY DYING
Q: When is the launch date and what does the roadmap look like for 2026?
Beta testing is underway via TestFlight with a public launch targeted for April 2026 and consumer marketing planned around July 1, 2026 to grow the user base.
