Continuing to Shape the Industry
Sebes now leads the Technology Practice at Results Thru Strategy and advises innovative restaurant tech startups, including Hellometer, GoTab, Bite Ninja, and TRAY POS.
For Sebes, solving complex problems remains the driving force behind his work.
Finding creative ways to solve problems is what’s fun,” he said.
In 2006, he developed the first graphical drive-thru timer, which he later sold to Hyperactive Technologies (now Acrelec America).
A longtime advocate for open standards, Sebes has been an active member of the Restaurant Technology Network’s Board of Governors.
“The idea that we could create a set of industry-wide standards that benefit everyone is very appealing,” he explained.
Historically, restaurant technology has been fragmented and proprietary, limiting operators’ ability to mix and match solutions. RTN’s work is changing that.
“If a restaurant wants to use different vendors for POS, kitchen displays, and inventory management, they should be able to,” Sebes said. “RTN helps democratize that process by standardizing how these systems communicate.”
Even after decades of success, Sebes remains focused on collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving. His contributions continue to leave a lasting mark on restaurant technology.
