As consumers find so many routes to their eatery of choice, the data inputs explode. But QSRs now have to work with, in and around a dataverse of walled gardens.

Keynote: Delivering on the Dunkin’ Brand Promise
In the QSR business, the talk is always about traffic, but the word “traffic” is cold and somewhat negative. These are guests. How do we invite them in, make them feel at home and want to return? And use data to connect. The word data is rigid, techy and puts people on their guard. It’s not about manipulating data but striving to deliver personalization. This keynote will focus on connecting with consumers in the modern world to not only showcase products, but also show how Dunkin’ demonstrates its brand promise in its marketing.
