CHICAGO, Jan. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnsembleIQ’s Hospitality Technology (HT) today announces it has extended the deadline to submit nominations for the eighth annual Top Women in Restaurant Technology Awards. The Awards recognize and honor a diverse array of females in the restaurant technology industry, including restaurant companies and technology providers. New for 2024, the Rising Star category is open to individuals who have been working in the restaurant technology industry for less than five years. The deadline to submit nominations is January 16, 2024.
“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:
Rising Star in Restaurant Technology: Presented to anyone from any level of an organization, with less than five years of experience in the industry, who has demonstrated leadership and is already making a mark in restaurant technology. From an up-and-coming customer engagement whiz, a database analyst at a restaurant brand to a stellar sales rep for IT providers, this award recognizes these rising rockstars.
Top Women in Restaurant Technology - Innovator Award: Presented to women with more than five years of restaurant technology experience who are forward thinkers and who have executed on tools and strategies to transform the restaurant technology space in a positive manner by creating or deploying emerging technologies that reimagine how things are done while paving the way for future technologies.
