“The Top Women in Restaurant Technology awards program celebrates the achievements of women across a diversity of career levels and roles in our industry,” says Robert Firpo-Cappiello, editor-in-chief of Hospitality Technology. “We acknowledge the contributions of groundbreaking leaders and innovative thinkers — all of whom are helping to transform our industry on a daily basis.”

Starting this year, the Rising Star award is open to all individuals who have been working in the restaurant technology industry for less than five years. Honors will go to those who are re-imagining how things are done in restaurants while demonstrating excellence in leadership, inventiveness and skill. “We continue to be inspired by people who are in the early stages of their restaurant technology career who are making their mark with their creativity and passion,” added Firpo-Cappiello. “We want to recognize the future leaders of our industry, regardless of gender.”

The 2024 Honorees will be recognized in three categories including:
