Choose tech stacks that let you swap out pieces without rebuilding everything. Design for obsolescence so you can add AI to drive-throughs, point-of-sale systems, and labor tools without getting locked into one technology.
You have to choose the tech stacks, in my purview, that have flexibility, that aren't so rigid they can't move. I think when you look at these technology stacks, you need to build for obsolescence in a way where these solutions need to be able to be pulled in and pulled out, realizing that some of these are much larger endeavors. Yeah. And that's the hard part because nobody has a crystal ball, but you have to be able to have a solution and a partner that's willing to grow with you if you want to pull subsection A out and replace it with subsection B, Without redefining the entirety of the capital costs, operational costs you gotta go do forth. So where does AI in the future go? I need to have a front-end solution, case in point, that can inject it into a drive-through, inject into a point of sale, inject into labor management. The flexibility key is don't be so stuck on one tech you can never leave it.
