This week we are joined by Jonathan Weins the Founder of Pop Meals, which is an F&B company leveraging tech and data to enable tailored experience with better quality and lower prices.
This was a great conversation with Jonathan as we navigate the business model pivot towards physical locations. We talk about how they are applying tech and data and bring the iteration from their software experience to the F&B operations. A lot of great insights in how they are serving innovation on the menu.
