3. Technology showcase

Going digital in your restaurant does sound appealing! But what exactly does this involve? The ITHQ has put this digital approach to the test by integrating innovative Québec technologies into its own restaurant, the Restaurant de l’ITHQ.

This new “technology showcase” will give you a concrete idea of how new technologies can be used to facilitate your operations. Furthermore, thanks to the experience acquired by our professionals, we can provide you with valuable knowledge on not only the advantages and the challenges, but also the pitfalls to avoid when it comes to implementing new technologies in a restaurant.
