What an interesting and timely article.
My extended family recently opened a pizza place which just happened to be at the same time as me wanting to take a break from startup grind. I worked at a pizza place in high school, and have continued to make pizza at home, and loved the idea of being able to combine that knowledge with the experience of building software startups, so I have been heavily involved in the last 6 weeks on everything from ordering, to kitchen layout, to POS and other IT systems, to marketing.
In short, the experience has been super interesting, not only in terms getting to learn tons of new things and get familiar with how the tech side is done (spoiler alert, not that well) but also just generally how much of an opportunity there is to take the sort of thinking and skills required to build tech products and to apply them to a quick-serve restaurant (and I would guess lots of other small business).
I have been planning on writing something up, but this article is giving me good motivation to actually do it :)
- Freedom2 3y agoI wouldn't be surprised if the author visited your newly opened place and was inspired to write the article based off their experiences! It's a small world, after all.
- genmud 3y agoYou should talk to some of your local newspapers/culture magazines about your experience as well, they love these types of stories and you can get free exposure for it.
