We live in a society of grab and go with everything, we don’t like to wait and patience is no longer a virtue that most have. Businesses are catering to that by allowing customers to order directly from their phones or by voice commands. That being said, it will make grabbing food or your favorite coffee order for your business meeting a lot faster. Once this is more established, soon businesses will have a problem if customers are not able to order online.

Key Takeaways:

• Within 3 years, all regional and national quick serve food should have mobile ordering.
• Mcdonalds recently announced intention to have mobile ordering and curbside pickup.
• There is an added complexity which is forecasting not only foot traffic but also mobile orders due to traffic flow.

“The whole world of fast-food ordering options—from mobile ordering to in-store kiosks and from delivery to curbside pickup—is arguably growing at a pace unrivaled since the drive-thru explosion that began way back in the late 1970s.”

Growing up in the restaurant industry, Yoav and David Adir were ecstatic to be approached by a television executive just three months after starting their own business. Their restaurant, The Carving Board, was featured on the Travel Channel’s “Sandwich Paradise” and their popularity within the Los Angeles area has only blossomed since then. Another television appearance, this time on Food Network, further boosted their appeal and they are currently slated to open four locations in Dubai and are pursuing opportunities in the States as well. The Carving Board currently has three locations.

Key Takeaways:

• Adir’s decision to get on a segment on Travel Channel’s “Sandwich Paradise” attracted a lot of new customers.
• They started creating their menu by looking at comfort foods that they loved to eat.
• They wanted a franchise, so had exact recipes for everything and do inventory every week.

“In 2007, Adir was working at The Cheesecake Factory when he decided he needed a break from restaurants. Three years later, he was itching to return but didn’t want to work for anybody else. The heart of the recession influenced the brothers to create a concept designed around a $10 price point.”
