Restaurant technology is moving fast. And for growing brands, standing still can mean falling behind.
On a recent episode of Digital Hospitality, Chris Lybeer, Chairman of the Board at Onosys, joined host Shawn Walchef at the Food on Demand Conference 2026 to talk about the future of restaurant technology and why digital transformation has become a matter of survival.
Chris shares insights from nearly four decades in restaurant tech, including:
🍕 Why mid-sized restaurant brands need enterprise-level ordering capabilities
📲 How first-party ordering can support complex menus, promotions, franchise needs, and digital growth
📈 How Pizza Ranch’s investment in Onosys helped its digital business take off
⚡ Why the pace of change makes moving beyond legacy technology more urgent than ever
For restaurant brands with 50, 100, 250, or even 500 locations, the question is no longer whether technology matters. It’s whether your technology can keep up with where your business is going.
