📍 FS/TEC Main Stage
It’s not a happy hour — it’s a technology roast. Join a restaurant IT veteran as he takes on a software CEO in a candid discussion about in-store connectivity, resilience, and the future of restaurant networks.
Sean Thompson, VP of IT at Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers, knows his stuff. He’s wrapped enough Cat5 to circle the earth. He’ll confront Adam Fish of Ditto, a CEO pitching a bold, cloud-optional future. Will he survive the grill — or flip the script?
This heated session dives into the explosion of edge devices, sensors, and AI in restaurants — and how Freddy’s confronts the premise that traditional networking can’t keep up. What tradeoffs will operators face, and how can we build future-ready connectivity?
When Adam isn’t on stage, you can find him and the Ditto team at Booth 332. We'll be showcasing a Point of Sale demo application built using Ditto's resilient offline sync technology. Come by to see it in action!
Restaurant IT is evolving fast. From edge devices and sensors to AI-driven insights and cloud-optional networks, the way restaurants manage connectivity and operations is changing forever. Ditto is leading this transformation with our offline-first database with built-in peer-to-peer mesh networking, made to keep restaurants running no matter what.
Whether you’re tackling unreliable connectivity, high infrastructure costs, or the complexity of scaling digital ordering and in-store experiences, Ditto keeps in-store devices syncing, without WiFI, servers or the cloud. Eliminate your in-restaurant sync issues, avoid interruptions to your business, and deliver fast, high-quality service in any network condition.
Our tech is already proven to increase resiliency and operational efficiency in top restaurants like Chick-fil-A and numerous POS companies. Let us know if you'd like to meet up either on site at FS/TEC or virtually!
