She Oversees 2 Million Pounds of Cooking Oil a Day — And Most Restaurants Never Think About It

Alissa Partee, CEO of Restaurant Technologies, shares how automating cooking oil management helps restaurants reduce labor, improve safety, and operate more efficiently. From real-time oil monitoring and just-in-time deliveries to leading a company serving more than 45,000 restaurant locations, Partee explains why some of the biggest operational challenges in hospitality happen behind the scenes and how technology can help operators focus on what matters most: serving guests. Technology Beyond Software – Restaurant Technologies helps operators automate cooking oil management through real-time monitoring, automated delivery, and waste oil collection, allowing teams to spend less time on manual tasks and more time serving guests. The Challenge of Change – Partee explains why restaurants often struggle to adopt new solutions, even when they solve clear operational problems. Success comes from making change simple and supporting operators every step of the way. Leading From the Frontline – After starting as Chief People Officer and rising to CEO, Partee learned that taking care of employees closest to the customer is one of the most important drivers of long-term growth and success.
