Markus Pineyro is oomi Digital Kitchen's Co-founder, a dedicated entrepreneur and visionary leader with 18 years of experience in the restaurant industry. His journey began with the founding of Dallas-based Urban Taco in 2007, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit. In 2020, Markus ventured into the world of digital innovation by co-founding oomi Digital Kitchen, a delivery-only kitchen that leverages technology to provide efficient and contactless dining experiences. In this episode… Restaurants are always looking for ways to improve their process and keep their menu fresh. What often-unappreciated data can be used to both improve day-to-day performance and lead to new menu ideas or even new restaurant brands?   According to oomi Co-founder Markus Pineyro, customer feedback is of paramount importance to his brand's success. From personal interactions during food pickups to leveraging transaction data for targeted follow-ups, the strategy addresses positive and negative feedback alike. Markus emphasizes a hands-on troubleshooting process to identify and resolve issues, and he highlights the significance of turning dissatisfied customers into loyal patrons. Moreover, oomi actively listens to its customer base, whose feedback helps shape the brand's offerings and innovations, exemplified by the creation of popular concepts like Love Bowls, Clucky's, and Hot Lips through customer polls and order analysis.  On this episode of the Top Business Leaders Show, Markus Pineyro, Co-founder of oomi Digital Kitchen, joins Rise25's Chad Franzen to discuss his restaurant journey, oomi's unique approach as a delivery-only kitchen, its diverse menu crafted from customer feedback, and how to address negative reviews.

Today I noticed that near where I live, the fast food chain Whataburger opened a "digital kitchen." From what I understand, it means that you can't go inside; you can only order things online and then pick them up. I wondered why they would use a prime spot for something where you can't even sit down inside, but then I learned that it exists to get around a sort of "restaurant curfew" in the area. Restaurants have to close by 9 PM … but there is a loophole for something like this, where you can stay open later if people aren't actually going inside and sitting down.The creative lesson I took from this Noticing is that constraints, whether they are rules, guidelines, or unexpected challenges, can often spur the most innovative solutions. For writers and artists, it serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most compelling narratives or art arise not in spite of limitations, but because of them. It's about navigating the framework we're given and finding inventive ways to tell our stories or convey our message in whatever new and interesting ways we can.WANT MORE?Members get extra episodes of the podcast, extra companion blog posts (see below), and more every week … all for the price of a fancy coffee.

Eric is a big reference for me, and a friend I've kept in touch with throughout the years. To me, he embodies what left-field thinking is - a true creative. His background in music creation helped inform his television work, and also make up for some amazing stories (Nirvana anyone?). He's a two-time Emmy Award-winning director and editor for the title sequences of Dexter and Six Feet Under. After graduating from film and interdisciplinary studies at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Eric formed Pachyderm Recording Studio with Mark Walk and Jim Nickel, where they handled projects such as Nirvana's “In Utero” and PJ Harvey's “Rid of Me,” among others. In 1998, Eric joined Digital Kitchen as a live action director, editor, and executive creative director, managing the creative from their Chicago office for over 12 years. In 2010, he relocated to Hollywood to assume the role of creative director at yU+co, Logan and MPC, and is now an independent live action director. Just two friends sitting down for a chat. Can't get any better than that.

Anthony Vitagliano is a designer I've been following for a long time, ever since we crossed paths while he was creative director at Digital Kitchen. He's worked on many projects, including Dexter, Westworld, Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Gaslit and Rings of Power, either leading teams or working by himself turning dials on an old tv set. He's also someone who's swimming against the current in current main title trends, and he goes deep into it in this wonderful 1hr conversation.

The Fast Casual Nation Podcast offers exclusive interviews with experts ranging from top chefs and brand makers to executives and restaurants who work in one of the fastest-growing segments of the restaurant industry. In this episode, I talk with Bob Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer about Potbelly Sandwich Shop's plans for expansion and the digital kitchen. Wright has been President and CEO at Potbelly Corporation since July 2020. He has over 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry, most recently serving as Executive Vice President and COO of The Wendy's Company, where he ran operations for over 6,000 company and franchise restaurants located in the U.S. and Canada. He has also worked with other restaurant brands, including Charley's Philly Steaks, Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc., and Domino's Pizza, Inc.When I ask Wright about getting started in the industry, he says, “I started delivering pizzas for Domino's after my freshman year in college.” He shares that he achieved his dream of becoming a franchisee and fell in love with the service element of the restaurant industry. Wright adds, “I love the idea of making food, serving people. I thought the opportunities in the chain restaurant business were terrific. And, you know, I've been doing it for over 35 years now.”We talk about adding limited time offers or LTOs to your menu and Wright offers great advice saying that operators should make sure that their core menu is on point with no holes in it and then really think about where to add value with limited time offers. Potbelly recently upgraded their technology and Wright says about technology, “it's one of the five pillars of our five pillar strategy is to make sure that we are a technology connected brand to our customers, for them and also for our employees. So we've really kind of taken a three pronged approach to technology, starting with refreshing the app and the website. And, you know, frankly, it was more than a refresh.” He adds, “We completely rebuilt the app and the website during the pandemic and rolled that out over a year ago as well. At the same time, we began the process of updating and upgrading our loyalty rewards program. We put a new loyalty rewards engine in place.” To hear about the third prong that Wright mentioned, called the Potbelly Digital Kitchen and his top three ways to set up your digital game, check out this episode of Fast Casual Nation or tune in on Apple Podcasts.

How does a quick service restaurant transform itself into a lifestyle brand? For Chipotle Mexican Grill, its all about being real and staying ahead of digital trends to create the ultimate customer experience. Nicole West, Vice President of Digital Strategy and Product for Chipotle, joins host Grayson Brulte this week to discuss the digital experience that Chipotle has pioneered within the industry. Nicole shares her experience building Chipotle’s digital commerce business and how consumer adoption of digital ordering and experiences has led to digital making up 61% of company sales in Q2 2020. She discusses what trends the company saw when it developed the industry’s first ordering app and how they continue to experiment with new ways to engage with customers and drive sales. As the conversation continues, Nicole explains the ways that Chipotle has innovated and disrupted the industry when appropriate, including its ordering app, Chipotlanes, Digital Kitchen, packaging, walk-up contactless pickups, and voice ordering with “Pepper,” all of which uniquely positioned the company to handle consumer shifts to digital when COVID-19 hit.

"The entire lifeline of this whole industry… no one has finished it yet… so we are all imposters, to a degree." – Ryan Summers In this episode of the RevThinking podcast, Joel Pilger speaks with Ryan Summers, Creative Director at School of Motion. Ryan is a creative leader whose career has spanned major brands as well as top studios such as Digital Kitchen, We Are Royale, Blur Studios, Oddfellows, Midnight Sherpa, and Imaginary Forces. The field of motion design is still relatively young yet our industry has undergone substantial changes in a short period of time. Since no single individual has lived out an entire career – much less a lifetime – in our industry, how can anyone know what to expect? So while some are thriving, others are frustrated or disillusioned. Why? Ryan challenges motion designers to view our industry in a more entrepreneurial way and consider opportunities to own what we create.

So you want to be a motion designer. To go to art school or not? There is a healthy debate over whether or not a formal education is worth your time and money. Especially now with the proliferation of online courses, many aspiring designers are wondering if art school is still worthwhile, and today we’re diving into the topic with Dorca Musseb and Ryan Summers. Dorca and Ryan have been in the field for many years and offer a wealth of experience and advice on the topic of arts education, and we get deep into the pros and cons of different arts educations. Dorca is a designer and animator based in New York and Ryan is a creative director at Digital Kitchen. In this episode, we discuss the importance of going to art school to learn design principles and make important connections, but also the limits and the false expectations that these schools leave their graduates with. We go on to discuss how the proliferation of online classes has changed the game, but also its limitations. If you’re thinking about going to art school or taking a course, this episode is a must listen! Did you go to art school or decide against it? Was that the right decision for you? Let us know in the comments on the episode page! In this episode Where art schools fall short in providing a thorough education for motion designers and where they provide the best value How education has changed now that there are more online courses available The consequences of the homogeneity that art schools foster and the advantages of diversity Why personal and professional connections are perhaps the most important part of having a thriving career   Quotes “The thing that I see the biggest dearth of is schools not teaching people how to be a working professional artist. They’re not teaching people how to become a freelancer. I think it goes even a step beyond that, just how to work well with others. These are the soft skills that I don’t see a lot of people coming out with.” [12:46] “I’m excited about where the online classes are going because now people are starting to realize that this is something that they can actually do and more voices are coming in and more voices are being heard.” [34:54] “If you don’t have people in a creative industry I don’t think any amount of education, any amount of software knowledge, any amount of raw talent will really get you through your career and get you where you want to go.”  [46:45]   Related Links Find Dorca Online Follow Dorca on Instagram   Find Ryan Online Follow Ryan on Twitter Book a chat with Ryan   “Don’t become another unhireable designer” article School of Motion Design Bootcamp Mo-Graph Mentor   Find the full show notes here Keep up with everything Motion Hatch   Follow Motion Hatch on Twitter | Instagram If you haven't already, would you mind leaving us a rating and review?

Her dry cleaning gets done, perfectly and on-time, and her latest IKEA purchase gets constructed. When she needs medicine, pizza or to wait in a line for a restaurant on a Saturday Night she just uses her smartphone. There’s an APP for all of her needs. The story for aftermarket professionals is that all the miles Joran is not driving are being done by the services she contracts. Transportation as a Service will rack up the miles to support all the Joran Thompson’s who don’t own vehicles. Someone will need to maintain and repair those vehicles. It’s time to make those connections. My Guests: Joran Thompson is the Director of Business Development at Digital Kitchen. She is responsible for growing client partnerships and marketing the creative experience company, whose clients include HBO, Amazon and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

When it comes to location L.A. is undoubtedly the best place for a motion designer to network and thrive, but that’s not to say that studios in other parts of the country are doing less-cool work. One great example is the team at Digital Kitchen. For years Digital Kitchen has been churning out incredible work and they just added one of the best MoGraph creative directors, Ryan Summers, to their team. Ryan’s passions and hard-work have led him to work on projects for Guillermo Del Toro, Starbucks, and National Geographic, among many other incredibly cool clients. In this podcast episode Joey sat down with Ryan to discuss how he rose to the top of the MoGraph world. Ryan takes us on a journey from his upbringing in South Chicago, to his freelance career in L.A., to his homecoming at Digital Kitchen. This episode is packed full of helpful info and tips for freelancers and aspiring motion designers.

Think back to the last time you cut a reel... It probably went something like this. You sat in front of the computer, picked out that perfect track of music, found all of your projects, brought them into After Effects, and then you had to make a TON of decisions.... What shot do I chose? When do I cut? Is there a better shot for this? Did I cut that too soon? What beat of the music do I cut on? Is that shot too long? Does that shot look good next to that other one? Is that shot too slow? There's no expression or plugin to help you cut a good reel. You need to learn how to... Think like an Editor. We've got a new Podcast episode ready for your ears featuring Mike Radtke, the Editor Extraordinaire from Digital Kitchen. This time Joey plays devils advocate to really dig into why we need editors in our industry, why MoGraphers don't do both jobs, and what a MoGrapher can learn from the editing world to get better at their own craft.

   The lobby of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, in Las Vegas, is dominated by its eight columns covered in 384 screens, which appear even larger due to the reflective floors and mirrored ceilings. It is one of the most beautiful digital signage spaces around. The best part is the content doesn’t sell a thing, other than brand experience. Its artistic, often ambient, content is custom designed for the space. This provides a great User Experience but just as compelling for the hotel it creates User Presence with guests taking their faces out of their phones and realizing they have entered a hotel unlike any in the world. Katrina Crawford and Mark Bashore are partners in life and work. They've been involved in the creation of content for the Cosmopolitan Hotel since it's inception, while working for Digital Kitchen. Now on their own, as co-owners of Plains of Yonder, their latest commission combines a mixture of physical, traditional elements and animations and can be viewed here. I spoke with them, via Skype, about the early days getting the installation up and running, their latest installation, as well as their thoughts on content creation for digital signage in general   Subscribe to this podcast: iTunes * Google Play * RSS

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.04.10.035766v1?rss=1 Authors: Virag, D., Homolak, J., Kodvanj, I., Babic Perhoc, A., Knezovic, A., Osmanovic Barilar, J., Salkovic-Petrisic, M. Abstract: Widely available low-cost electronics encourage the development of open-source tools for neuroscientific research. In recent years, many neuroscientists recognized the open science movement for its potential to stimulate and encourage science that is less focused on money, and more on robustness, validity, questioning and understanding. Here, we wanted to contribute to this global community by creating a research platform based on a common digital kitchen scale. This everyday ordinary kitchen tool is sometimes used in neuroscience research in various ways; however, its use is limited by sampling rate and inability to store and analyze data. To tackle this problem we developed a Platform for Auditory STArtle or PASTA. This robust and simple platform enables users to obtain data from kitchen scale load cells at a high sampling rate, store it and analyze it. Here, we used it to analyze acoustic startle and prepulse inhibition sensorimotor gating in rats treated intracerebroventricularly with streptozotocin, but the system can be easily modified and upgraded for other purposes. In accordance with open science principles, we shared complete hardware design with instructions. Furthermore, we also disclose our software codes written for PASTA data acquisition (C++, Arduino) and acoustic startle experimental protocol (Python) and analysis (R-based Awesome Toolbox for PASTA, ratPASTA R package). To further encourage the development of our PASTA platform we demonstrate its sensitivity by using PASTA-gathered data to extract breathing patterns during rat freezing behavior in our experimental protocol.
