May 4 Digital Dive Lineup:
 
David Deno, CEO, Bloomin' Brands
 
Why Putting People First is a Competitive Advantage (2 p.m. EDT)

Bloomin’ Brands CEO David Deno shares how a few non-negotiables around company culture — including a commitment not to lay off or furlough workers last year — set the stage for a smoother recovery for the parent of Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill and other brands. Plus, hear how the company is earning consumers’ trust to rebuild in-restaurant sales, even as it moves into the virtual brand space to meet growing off-premise demand.
 
 
 
Stacy Peterson, Chief Technology Officer, Wingstop

Behind Wingstop’s skyrocketing digital sales (3:15 p.m. EDT)

Wingstop’s chief technology officer, Stacy Peterson, joins us for a discussion on how the brand managed to thrive over the last year, with digital sales that soared past the $1 billion mark and now make up more than 60% of total sales. Hear how Wingstop set the stage for that growth with investments in digital ordering platforms, delivery and ghost kitchens, plus how the brand is readying itself for a future when every single transaction is digitized.
