Technology only succeeds when balanced against human service imperatives

Connors argues that technology adoption in hospitality and food service must be calibrated to enhance—not replace—human interaction and employee capability. He contends that operational efficiency and guest satisfaction are not zero-sum outcomes; the most successful implementations use digital tools to amplify service quality while reducing friction, but fail when they prioritize automation over the workforce development and personal touch that drive customer loyalty.
