At first glance, it sounds like you may be overfitting an overly-comprehensive technical solution to an extremely cost-sensitive/archaic/offline-centered industry. Explaining the stack you used to build this platform will likely c

I actually do this. I try to follow a low-carb diet and it's really easy to follow when you spend a Sunday cooking everything at once, then the rest of the week, reheating from that same menu. Don't drink coffee, alcohol, or eat s

I feel for you. Don't do it. Money brings out the worst in people. Arguing is healthy. Just depends on how it comes & what it's over. Obviously, if your relationship deteriorates to the point that you are arguing for little va

Eek, went through the same thing except we did it for a whole year. Skillset or not, sharing core values/beliefs is most important. Because when shit goes south, if you have someone who is just as committed as you are (for the right

Cool, thanks Jennifer! That was some serious dedication, super admirable. :) One more question, although I've already asked a lot of you. How did you make sure you conceptually understood what you were learning at every stage, not ju

This is super awesome and inspirational. What was the most frustrating experience you had in your 180 day challenge?

Thanks! Means a lot. It's a good idea - one day, I hope when we're successful, perhaps then writing such findings then may be more meaningful and valuable as learnings for others.

Delivery is not as heavy as a cost as running the kitchen itself. I think food production is so overlooked in these discussions. The operating cost for a kitchen is insane, labor, ingredients, storage, inventory, etc... Peter Thiel always u

Isn't one of Gobble's selling point is that it's super cheap? like $10/person? I remember seeing that as their main homepage jumbotron, which seemed to successfully target and reassure their audience of parents who wante

We tried a variant of this with Mise very early on but we've since pivoted to a much more stable model with massively improved results & proper regulation. There are some highlights from what we learned trying "Airbnb for food

Some highlights from Glassdoor. Strange since Zappos is championed on a regular basis by bschools for customer service, employee satisfaction, and culture. "It was great the first 4 years, great leader great benefits. it has changed

Sure. But doubt loopholes like these would be openly documented. Best option seems like if I was still back at school and just asked some international students.

Would this really be cheaper? It's an awful lot of man hours committed to just one area vs. a centralized one that can dedicate the time/effort/resources accordingly based on needs and corresponding urgency. Also one of the

Uh, a bad experience is a waste of time. And I'd call these opinions, not ideas. Not sure if I agree with being downvoted but out of my hands. :)

Well, we've had movies on airplanes for a long time. And I agree it makes things marginally more bearable. But just because they've moved it from a shared television on the aisle/ceiling that everyone had to lean out to watch

It doesn't matter how we categorize Uber. (We can just call it a platform.) What is way more important is what Uber means to a customer. The average person in SF knows is that Uber is cheaper than a taxi, more plentiful in supply, a

Does anyone really expect anything of airline flights anymore? At least those of us in commercial/economy class? Years ago great customer service was defined as giving someone the can and some free peanuts. Now it's touch screen

Sure. Although I do think if people don't respond out of fear of being labeled, then it's a shame because it is possible to discuss this topic without being portrayed as a xenophobe/racist. A lot are just observations I&#x27

I think there's a ton of economic incentive for the rich to leave China and move to the US. In fact, I'd argue it's happening now already, regardless of the performance of the Chinese economy. Some observations: - The luxury
