The food and beverage industry has never moved faster—and the gap between companies that have embraced technology and those still catching up has never been wider than in today’s AI era. In this expanded second edition of Appetite for Success: Thriving with Technology in the Food and Beverage Industry, seasoned industry expert Jack Payne brings his 30-plus years of hard-won experience to bear on the questions operators and executives are wrestling with right now.

This isn’t a theoretical exploration of what technology could do for your business. It’s a practitioner’s guide—based hundreds of facility visits, executive conversations and real implementation stories—that cuts through the noise to deliver clarity on what actually works. Payne tackles the full scope of digital transformation: how to build a technology roadmap aligned to business goals, how to manage change without derailing operations and how to get the most from the systems you already have.

New to this edition is substantive guidance on calculating return on investment (ROI), integrating AI into day-to-day operations, using AI agents as genuine members of the workforce and consolidating disconnected systems into unified, AI-powered enterprise platforms. For executives, operators and transformation leaders who need more than a vision statement, Appetite for Success is the roadmap.
