Wing Lam on the Future of AI in the Restaurant Industry | CO Show Clip

Wing Lam believes AI is inevitable in the restaurant industry, with applications already being used in areas like customer profiling and food delivery. While he acknowledges the potential benefits of AI, such as increased efficiency and reduced labor costs, he also raises concerns about the impact on human employment, particularly for roles that can be easily automated. Despite these concerns, Wing remains optimistic about the future and emphasizes the importance of focusing on the creative aspects of the industry where human value remains irreplaceable.

After getting Wahoo's Fish Taco off the ground and popular with surfers, Wing Lam helped popularize snowboarding. He became the marketing director, then president, of the US Snowboard Association, bringing in sponsors and organizing events even though he had never snowboarded before.

Wing Lam describes the unique blend of Brazilian and Asian flavors that inspired the restaurant's menu.
