Your Tech Is Costing You More Than Labor. Ankit Gupta on Building a System That Actually Makes You Money

What if the biggest threat to your restaurant isn’t bad food or poor service—but bad tech?

5 Day Restaurant Profitability Challenge

That’s the bet Ankit Gupta is making. After shaping food delivery at tech companies globally, he saw a blind spot no one was fixing: restaurant tech was leaving restaurants behind. 

Now he’s leading the product team at Otter, and his mission is clear: to completely redefine what a restaurant point of sale system is and how it can holistically serve the changing needs of restaurants today.

In today’s conversation, he shares why POS systems should be more than a way of collecting revenue–they should be creating new revenue opportunities, how data and marketing can work together through automation to scale your brand, and what operators can learn from manufacturers to scale profitability.

This is more than a conversation about tech—it’s a conversation about identity, resilience, and realizing that the tools that will free us in the future already exist today.
