The restaurant payment stack: Why restaurants are rethinking their infrastructure in 2026

Live on: May 27, 2026 | 1:00 PM Eastern time

Something is separating the restaurant brands growing customer lifetime value from the ones fighting to hold it. It's not their menu or their marketing. It's how they think about payment infrastructure. 

In this 35-minute session, our speakers, James Carrigan, EVP, North America Sales, and Ryan Ahern, VP, Global Hardware Product Strategy, walk through the architectural decisions — gateway strategy, loyalty data unification, acceptance layer resilience — that distinguish a payment platform from a payment processor. 

You'll leave with a five-question diagnostic to evaluate your own stack, and a clear picture of what the category leaders have already built.
