Human-in-Command Operations in Restaurants
Automation works best when humans remain responsible for judgment and accountability. Restaurants provide a practical example. AI can help optimize scheduling, monitor inventory, forecast demand, and organize operational data. But hospitality still depends on people making real-time decisions under changing conditions.
