COVID didn’t just disrupt restaurants — it rewrote the playbook for how they operate.    Five years after the pandemic, the food service industry doesn’t look the same. 🍴 60%+ of restaurant orders are now digital.  🌱 Guests expect sustainability, personalization, and convenience as standard. COVID’s lasting legacy? It forced restaurants to evolve faster than ever.  The winners are those who embraced AI, automation, and guest-first strategies — not just to survive, but to thrive. At NOVA, we see this transformation every day:    ✅ Restaurants reducing costs with smarter scheduling & payroll.  ✅ Owners driving repeat visits through personalized loyalty programs.  ✅ Operators cutting dependency on 3rd-party apps with their own branded webstore. The playbook is clear: tech + data + guest focus = long-term success. Curious how your restaurant can thrive in this new era?  Read Deepak Srinivasan's take on this 👉 https://lnkd.in/g8sgc-jY  #RestaurantTech #RestaurantAI #AIinRestaurants #RestaurantManagement #RestaurantPOS

It’s about the people who welcome us, serve us, and keep things running even when no one’s watching. 👩🍳👨🍳   At NOVA, we’re proud to stand with food service workers everywhere. Because technology may streamline operations—but it’s people who create memories. 💙   💬 Take a moment today: tag a food service worker, share a story, or simply say thank you.   #NationalFoodServiceWorkersDay #HospitalityHeroes #RestaurantIndustry #Gratitude

Takeout ≠ Tip-Free: Why This Conversation Matters 🍱💳 Ever paused at the takeout tipping screen and thought, “Do I really need to tip?” You’re not alone. Tipping on takeout has become more common, but expectations are still unclear. Here’s what’s often missed: 👉 Packaging and prep take real effort.  👉 Complex orders justify a fairer tip.  👉 Clear policies build trust with customers. At NOVA, we believe tipping should be simple and transparent. That’s why our platform makes it effortless across dine-in, delivery, or pickup—so appreciation never gets lost.

Why pay for restaurant staff training when your POS can do it for free? Restaurants lose thousands every year on training - only to watch turnover reset the cycle. Shadowing shifts, scribbling notes, and hoping new hires remember it all isn’t just outdated, it’s expensive. But here’s the good news: with the right POS, staff training can cost $0.  NOVA turns onboarding into a built-in process - interactive, self-paced, and seamlessly woven into everyday operations. Employees learn on the job, while the POS guides them step by step. The result? Fewer mistakes, faster ramp-up times, consistent service across every location, and zero extra training cost. Margins are razor-thin. Don’t let training eat into them.  With NOVA, your POS powers your people.  👉 Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/g8uJqeWC  #RestaurantTech #POS #RestaurantManagement #RestaurantInnovation #EmployeeTraining

🔥 When Sparks Fly, Innovation Catches Fire 🔥   At NOVA, we believe the future of restaurant tech won’t just be built — it will be imagined, tested, and ignited from within. That’s why we’re launching the AI TriSpark Summit — an internal hackathon series where our teams push the boundaries of what’s possible in restaurant AI.   This week, the journey begins with Spark Ignite ⚡ (📅 September 19–20, 2025) — where our teams will experiment fearlessly, challenge assumptions, and set the stage for what’s next in restaurant AI. From there, we move to Spark Amplify and Spark Summit — each one taking the flame higher.   Because when our people spark innovation inside NOVA, the entire industry feels the fire. 🔥   #AI #Innovation #Hackathon #RestaurantTech #FutureOfRestaurants #RestaurantAI #AIinRestaurants #NOVACulture #AIHackathon #InnovationInAction #AIInnovation #TeamNOVA #FoodTech #RestaurantIndustry
