Westfield, NJ (RestaurantNews.com) The Council of Hotel and Restaurant Trainers (CHART) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Smart Trainer, Inc., a leader in AI-driven solutions designed to enhance operational efficiency in the restaurant and retail sectors.
“CHART’s hospitality trainers are on the hunt for technology that empowers frontline teams,” said CHART President Dr. Felicia White, Ed.D., Vice President of Learning & Leadership Development for Ascent Hospitality Management. “With its voice-activated functionality, similar to Siri and Alexa, Smart Trainer AI makes it easier than ever for teams to get the answers they need in real time.”
“At Smart Trainer, we believe AI should make work easier, not replace the people who make hospitality great,” said Won Jeong, CEO of Smart Trainer. “Our platform bridges the gap between hourly workers and full automation, acting as a virtual trainer. Smart Trainer allows employees to simply speak and receive instant answers, helping teams optimize food preparation, scheduling, inventory, sales forecasting, and more.
