On today's 🍔Restaurant 🤖Tech 📈Trends: Brendon Gilbert, VP Technology at Vibe Restaurants! Vibe is a multi-brand franchise group behind 70+ Little Caesars, nearly 90 Wingstops, and a growing number of Whataburgers.
📺WATCH AND LEARN📺
👉 Why Brendon was hired as Vibe’s first tech leader and how early wins came from blocking and tackling rather than shiny tools
👉 How Vibe balances franchisor-mandated tech (POS, payments, hardware) with portfolio-level systems (ERP, payroll, HRIS, scheduling) to scale across three brands on its quest to grow from $200M to $350M
👉 What it takes to operate a brand that is 70%+ digital at Wingstop and why connectivity, failover, and single-number support matter more than buzzwords
👉 Brendon’s POV on AI-assisted scheduling, turning hours of manual work into a 15-minute workflow without losing local knowledge or hospitality judgment
Huge thanks to Brendon for a practical, operator-centric conversation about scaling tech in the real world.
