I'm sure you're familiar with Eatsa, any reflections on how you might escape the same "fate" [1]?

Besides the obvious difference that you're fully automated, I mean how will you avoid the trap of "Hey it's a lot easier to sell this food tech to others than to be in the restaurant operations business!"?

Yes! See the comment from an Eatsa veteran on this thread. Running a restaurant is no picnic, but we've actually found that it's preferable to have control over the whole operation so that the menu works well with our automation rather than having to adapt to a partner's needs from day 1. Further down the road, we do expect to do partnerships with restaurant chains.
