CHICAGO, Jan. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hospitality Technology (HT) magazine is pleased to announce that it is accepting nominations for the sixth annual Top Women in Restaurant Technology Awards and the Industry Heroes, now in their second year. Sponsored by Tillster, the Top Women in Restaurant Technology Awards will recognize and honor a diverse array of females in the restaurant technology industry, including restaurant companies and technology providers. Industry Heroes recognize restaurants and tech suppliers for their exemplary contributions to the restaurant industry and/or the communities served in 2021. The deadline to submit nominations has been extended to January 12, 2022.
"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 magazine. "We acknowledge the contributions of groundbreaking leaders, innovative thinkers, and rising stars—all of whom are helping to transform our industry on a daily basis. Most importantly, we hope this program will inspire the next generation to demolish the glass ceiling once and for all."
Honors will go to women who are re-imagining how things are done in restaurants while demonstrating excellence in leadership, inventiveness and skill.
"We are incredibly honored to be a sponsor of this year's Top Women in Restaurant Technology Awards, the principles for which these awards support, are ones that we uphold daily in our own organization with women at the helm of our leadership," says Hope Neiman, chief marketing officer at Tillster. "Breaking through the barriers of the restaurant industry is a feat of itself for women, those women who have managed to do so in the additional field of technology are certainly exceptional and deserve to be recognized for their incredible accomplishments."
The 2022 Honorees will be recognized in three categories:
Rising Star
Presented to women from any level of an organization, with less than five years of experience in the industry, who have demonstrated leadership and are already making a mark in restaurant technology at an early stage in their careers. From an up-and-coming social media guru at a restaurant brand to a stellar sales rep for IT providers, we want to recognize rising star rockstars!
Innovator
Presented to women 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.
The Lifetime Achievement Award
This award is presented in recognition of a lifetime (no less than 15 years) of service and accomplishments in the restaurant technology industry. We seek to honor women who have had an impact on the restaurant technology industry as well as their colleagues and industry peers through enthusiasm, mentorship and commitment, while also showing how technologies can provide new ways of doing things.
Industry Heroes awards recognize brands for their contributions to the restaurant industry or communities served. Concept Entertainment Group, Dickey's Barbecue Pit, Fazoli's, and Jersey Mike's Franchise Systems Inc. were recognized as Industry Heroes in 2021.
