Tim McLaughlin is a technology savant. His company, GoTab (@gotab.inc), pushes technology, such as QR codes, to the forefront of the hospitality industry by putting the guest at the center of the POS experience. 

 

“I would say get a demo if you want to actually know.” McLaughlin tells host Shawn Walchef (@shawnpwalchef) of calibbq.media.  “All the stuff I touched on [in the interview], that’s like one of 40 things that we do that nobody else in the industry does.”
