Cherryh Cansler, publisher of FastCasual.com, interviews Keith Szot, SVP and chief evangelist, from Esper about the company's expansion into Linux-based device management.

Known for its focus on IT operations in restaurants, Esper is applying DevOps techniques to help operators better manage fleets of devices across Android, iOS and now Linux.
