But the appetite of others to follow suit appears to be limited...
Meyer collects as much information, or dots, as he can about his guests. If a diner is eating at one of his restaurants for the first time, the staff is alerted. If it's a repeat customer, preferences (likes corner table, allergic to shellfish) and any past errors in service (overcooked salmon on 7/16) will have been entered in a database. "The more dots you collect, the more chances you have to make meaningful connections that make people feel good and give you a business edge...
