Perry shares a practical tip for leveraging AI to improve restaurant operations. He discusses the significance of Google reviews for restaurants and how they often focus on maintaining a high rating and suggests a more insightful approach to understanding customer feedback.

Perry also shared his own case of using this AI hack. By using Chat GPT, he analyzed Google reviews for a restaurant and found a common theme, that their team was missing. This insight led to improved staff training and enhanced the overall dining experience.
