1.9 BILLION diners seated globally last year ??🎙️

We sat down with Drew from OpenTable Australia to talk all things hospitality, restaurants, trends, AI, marketing, bookings, viral venues and what actually makes people want to dine out in 2026.

From why Melbourne’s food scene is still world class, to the rise of experience led dining and the future of restaurant tech, this chat is packed with insights, opinions and some seriously good conversation.

If you’re in hospitality, marketing, or just obsessed with food, this one’s worth the listen.
