Using augmented reality, licensed sports and entertainment brands, and rotating collectible content, GrubLab helps restaurants engage kids, improve the guest experience, and create stronger loyalty with families. Roger and Mick discuss why kids often influence where families dine, how experience impacts repeat business and online reviews, and why restaurants that create memorable family moments have a competitive advantage. They also tackle hospitality, service culture, and the balance between table turns and guest experience.
