Key Quotes

“We use sort of a blending application that is kind of 50% weighted on mobility, 50% on traditional progression modeling and I think it's a healthy way to do it. It kind of balances, and we're utilizing both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the mobility data. So not only are we looking at concentrations of our guests, but we're looking at the mix of those devices, essentially overlaying our customer profile over the devices to get a sense for who's there at that geography at those key day parts.” - Allyn Taylor
