How do you know which IT solution is the best for you?
Are you trying to improve your business’s technology?
Are you looking for upgrades?
We’ve had our fair share of technology issues in our 80-year history. In the early 1980s, we had an optical scanning system. The technology scanned restaurant orders from a special sheet of paper by recognizing the presence of a pencil mark made by employees, not too different from the Scantron system many colleges use to score tests.
But we had issues processing orders. If there was even a spot of grease on the paper, the scanning technology would not be able to read the order requests.
“That technology was not the wave of the future,” says Michael Weber, vice president of Weber’s. “It ended up flopping. It was a disaster.”
We’ve been operating since before digital computers were invented. Weber’s originally tracked purchases and inventory by hand.
“As an entrepreneur, you have to pay attention to different technology trends and how people want to spend their money,” Weber said. “It will put your business ahead of others. Whenever you’re dealing with new technology, you want to try to see into the future and go with what will still be relevant in 10 years,” said Weber.
