Capriotti's Sandwich Shop is using new "Google Glass" for employee training, according to Restaurant News.
"Using Google Glass, we are blending technology with food service to create unique, impactful training videos that we think will really be a hit with our employees," Capriotti's CIO, CMO, and Executive VP Jason Smylie told Restaurant News. "Our training program is key for Capriotti's team members to guarantee our customers with fresh food and great service.
"We anticipate a great response from our staff about the updated instructional videos and hope the new program will lead to even more satisfied customers," he said.
According to Restaurant News, Smylie chose to acquire Google's state-of-the-art glasses as part of the technology company's promotion, "If I had Glass," which will allow the company's employees to see how a sandwich is made. People being trained will then be able to look back at footage to see how they can improve their performance the company said on its website.
The new gadget enhanced the training experience for Smylie and his team who are also taking advantage of technology to further emphasize Capriotti's commitment to being a successful operation Restaurant News reported.
