What do Isle of Wight ferries, dirty tables, and KFC at midnight have in common?
This episode.
Chris is joined by the silky-voiced Jamie White, Head of Business Development at WRS, fresh off the back of a brand revamp (RIP “Systems”) and full of stories from hospitality, media, and SaaS trenches.
🧠 Whether you’re a single-site pub or a 100-venue group, Jamie’s here to talk about:
• ✨ Why WRS dropped the “Systems” and what it says about where tech is going
• 🎙️ Jamie’s radio past (he needs his own podcast – we said it first)
• 💸 How kiosks are quietly boosting spend and smoothing service
• 🤯 Why putting in tech without fixing your process first is like driving a Ferrari at 20mph
• 📊 The surprising POS reports helping operators win back 80 hours a week • 🤖 What AI actually means in hospitality right now (hint: not magic robots… yet)
• 🤝 Why consultative selling and relationships still rule the tech game
🍞 Bonus: hear Chris confess to a KFC bucket at 12:30am.
