ICP Intelligence February 2026: GM

Role in Executive Leadership

What are the key priorities and pain points for General Managers in the restaurant industry? No significant shifts have been detected in the GM persona's factor profile over the last six months, indicating a consistent strategic landscape. GMs exhibit exceptionally strong focus across most operational areas, scoring 5.00/5 in Operations, Technology, Risk, Growth, and Stakeholder engagement. Their top priorities include digitally engaging future customers, especially Gen Z, and being early adopters of new technologies, alongside fostering loyalty and community in virtual spaces. However, GMs face significant pain points, notably the restaurant industry's slow adoption of new technologies and the challenge of engaging digitally native generations where they spend time online. Furthermore, consumer confusion between blockchain and Bitcoin frequently leads to skepticism, complicating innovation efforts in this segment.
