poke places are so popular because they can keep all the ingredients cold and don’t have to deal with half the food handling rules and regulations

Oh man, if I had a dollar for every time someone outside the food industry thought they had a good idea for a restaurant, and coupled it with "well how hard could it be".

FMguru posted:they literally overlooked making sure the food didnt taste like poo poo when they planned out the restaurant startups regularly get millions upon millions in funding for barely-functional apps that don't actually do anything useful but look slick and have a lot of buzzwords so clearly people value that above all else, let's just apply the same idea to food look your food is being made by a futuristic food machine, isn't that neat!

it fulfilled all its design goals, it just turned out to be something that no one actually wanted to buy. also those design goals turned out to be dumb

the enquirer reportedly spent a bunch of money trying to hunt down bezos' dick pics tho and clealry expected to be able to pull a bunch of extra ad revenue etc from doing so. and essentially all that money went downt he toilet when jeff was like "sure publish my dick i don't care but also we're going to look at suing you regardless" so there's p much no way that backfire isn't a major contributor to ami trying to unload the enquirer

reminder: the people who buy juiceros believe that pressing fruit flat with a big metal slab instead of your hands or any other method, is neccesary so that your juice doesn't lose "life energy" and therefore make you sick its why the "but u can just squeeze the packs" stuff is so dumb as like an argument to it - the packs are ruinously expensive for the like 6 ounces of uice they make, plus the only reason you evne have them is that you believe a blender or using any method to prevent rot kills "life force" you need to eat to be healthy. s'like complaining about having to wait for a priest to give you a communion wafer instead of just eating it out of the bag or somethin

Xaris posted:i think if I were opening a chain, salad places seem like a better investment. there's like 10 of them within a few blocks and each $15 salad place has a line out the door starting at 11:30. they just opened another one which has a massive lobby of zig-zaging lines filled to the brim. salad places are the new hot thing around here which is sorta weird because people don’t usually eat uncooked vegetables but it’s hip and trendy
