Second, answer the following questions below by referring to the video, the chapter reading and additional reading on analytics in your module, and the additional resources below:

(If you have experience in this industry, think about if your employer had systems in place to help them accurately identify the most profitable dishes, beverages, and servers.

2. What are the ways that consumer experience can be enhanced when restaurants utilize data?
3. To what degree are changes in technology and consumer behavior creating more opportunities for restaurants to capture customer data?
