Cost of revenue is mostly insurance costs [1]. If you look at their financials, they show gross bookings, which include both the full billed values for food and delivery, and transportation of people. Revenues only show their share of that

They're localized to the green/sprouted spots. And to a lesser extent the skin. I'm not sure how the skin changes in the process, but I do know that the white flesh has minimal changes. According to German Federal Institute f

Or plant it, if it's a decent size, it can yield over 1lbs of potatoes in 3 months. In my area it's low maintenance. If you have limited space, I've had 5 lbs worth in a 15 gallon bag, it has about the same footprint as an of

They use sprout inhibitors on large scale potato growing, which are effective in my area (we can keep most potatoes for over a month before there are any sprouts). If you tend to buy from farmers markets, there is a greater chance of them n

There are already many effective processes that have been developed, schools however don't want to implement them for varying reasons (blind marking for example). An example from Daniel Kahneman's Noise (I'm paraphrasing) - W

Small construction tools (drills, portable table saws, angle grinders) is largely done at big box stores, however smaller stores sell a fair amount, plus specialty product, but the bread and butter small tools are big box stores. Quality is

This is anecdotal, so take it with a grain: I worked for a credit card processor about a decade ago, and it was routine to have the merchant run a penny transaction on the terminal, and refund it post testing to make sure it works. They&#x2

I understood what was meant. Companies don't just start marketing once they have multi billion dollar profitability. If you're consumer focused, you spend on marketing, if you're business focused, you spend on sales. There ar

Incidentally, half of those companies you've mentioned are in the top 50 spenders for marketing [1]. I'd hazard to say that they are all in the top 100 in global spend. [1] https://howmuch.net/articles/worlds-

Perhaps I'm being pedantic, to the point, most Indian food is vegetarian, not vegan. They love their milk, cheese, and honey.

That's what I'm curious about. With that margin I'd guess CPG with a re-branded product. Most retailers are lucky to see anything north of 50% gross margin. I would have imagined a drop shipper having closer to 20%.

Which goes against what has been said here: https://youtu.be/YOKqAIMh-iA?t=1538 I'll admit both answers can be correct (retailers send the prices for instacart to baseline off of). They have historically marked up the

From my understanding, the prices are set by the store, which can be corroborated by the DoorDash/Uber Eats models. It's impossible for Instacart to handle the prices for all these stores, so they unload that responsibility to the

As far as governments are concerned, yes, as they will never get tax revenues from companies if they are allowed to fully expense large purchases.

Also, taxes. If we were able to fully expense capital plants and equipment, there wouldn't a single company paying taxes, they would continually purchase more to offset profit, eliminate taxation, and accelerate growth.
