Unit economics on food delivery sucks (if that’s your only business)...too many inefficiencies with travel to/from (time wasted w/empty hands). Food delivery as part of a QSR can be profitable but most businesses don’t track margi

Ghost kitchens may be scams but I know at least of one QSR in Manhattan that does them successfully. In some instances they are quite profitable if you generate the volume. Your commission is also a bit off, perhaps you speak from full serv

Gotcha! Sorry, now I understand the context better. I took it as bragging but you were actually drawing parallels with regard to medication and libido side effects. I made an assumption and which made me look like an ass...sorry about that.

While the thesis of your argument is valid (based on US healthcare and their sentiment), your argument is, most likely, flawed. The premise is that a “cure” is a one time expense, hence why it’s less appealing than managing symptoms. Howeve

I understand where you’re coming from and I’m confident that, I’m the future, there will be a solution for baldness — the market segment is too large to ignore. Plus, I do believe people should be happy and having hair is a lifestyle improv

This...is an interesting comment. I bet that you’re way more self conscious than just hair. It was just the easiest thing to fix. Regardless, I’m happy for you and your sex life.

Hats are probably cheaper and more effective against sunburn. Probably safer than current hair loss treatment, as well.

I’m my opinion, your comment is very self serving and reminds me of a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them b

Just reading the first review on Amazon, I’m skeptical. They started with polio and ended with arsenic poisoning. One (polio) is caused by a virus we have vaccines for. The other (arsenic) is a poison that was readily available and know in

If you are their co-worker and believe he shared some info that shouldn’t be public, wouldn’t it be a simple curtesy to email them and get some clarity? That seems like a reasonable thing to do. On the other hand, to anonymously submit a co

In Tier 1 markets (big metro areas, in the US), aggregate platforms are the way to go. The main driver of this is liability insurance and worker's comps. There is also pressure from municipality laws on how delivery staff are titled: i

I haven’t read the code yet so I apologize if this was already addressed. Do you already have logic in place to deal with different municipality taxes? For example: in Chicago, you have an additional tax on non-juice carbonated beverage in

Yes, that’s exactly what it’s for. A more realistic scenario is a family member sold a house but didn’t own the rights. Next thing you know, another family member shows up and tries to dispute the sale. That’s how I understand it.

Slack is doing a direct listing and aren't raising money via their IPO. This could be good for the average investor as the prices woun't be pumped up but the risk is that there was no price discovery.
