Ozempic, AI & the Future of Restaurants with Oli Ostertag, General Manager of PAR Technology’s Operator Cloud

Published on September 3, 2025

In this episode, Nick Portillo welcomes Oli Ostertag, General Manager at PAR Technologies Operator Cloud. Together, they dive into one of the biggest shifts shaking up the industry: the rise of appetite-suppressing drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. With more than a quarter of Americans considering these medications, dining habits are changing fast, and restaurants are being forced to adapt.

Ollie shares how quick-service brands can turn this disruption into opportunity by offering smaller portions, lower-sugar options, and smarter menus, without sacrificing profitability.
