In this episode of The Pineapple Perspective, Troy Hooper sits down with Guy Weiss, tech entrepreneur and founder of ZenZap, to discuss how workplace communication is evolving—especially in the hospitality industry. Guy shares his journey from cybersecurity to launching a purpose-built messaging platform designed for frontline teams in fast-paced environments like restaurants and franchises.

The conversation explores the high cost of chaotic communication, including burnout, security risks, and productivity loss, and outlines why existing tools like WhatsApp, Slack, and iMessage fall short. With ZenZap, Weiss aims to create a structured, mobile-first communication experience that reduces friction, supports onboarding and turnover, and enables operators to scale effectively.

Topics Discussed in the Episode

• Why personal messaging tools create problems in hospitality operations

• The hidden costs of "always-on" work culture and notification fatigue

• Security and privacy risks from unregulated group chats

• The challenge of onboarding and offboarding in high-turnover environments

• How ZenZap creates structured, simple, and effective team communication
