Just Eat, Ireland's leading on-demand food delivery platform, has today announced it will be rolling out its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistant to empower everyday convenience. The programme will provide consumers with even more innovative ways to order on Just Eat. The AI Assistant was first tested in the UK in 2023, and is now being rolled out in Ireland, among other markets over the coming months. With the roll-out of Just Eat's new AI Assistant, consumers will now be able to search and place their orders through text ordering and receive personalised recommendations. This includes helping consumers discover new restaurants and meals, creating a more efficient and seamless selection process on the Just Eat platform. Beyond enhancing the selection process for food, groceries, and non-food items, the AI Assistant also enhances customer support. It can summarise reviews, highlight key details about restaurants and stores, and tailor suggestions based on customer preferences. Additionally, it helps direct users to further support when needed. As Just Eat continues to expand and refine this service, the goal is to leverage consumer feedback to improve the experience, introduce new features, and optimise before rolling out more widely. Amanda Roche-Kelly, Managing Director, Just Eat Ireland said, "As a technology-led company, we are constantly looking for ways to drive innovation within the food delivery sector. We are wholly committed to investing in emerging technology that allows us to not only continuously deliver a positive experience to our customers, but also to improve engagement with our restaurant partners through the platform." "While Just Eat has leveraged AI to support various facets of its business for some time, leveraging it to enhance the way we deliver services, makes perfect sense. By offering Irish consumers more choice and convenience, be that in terms of food takeaways or grocery and convenience items, this helps us maintain a best-in-class user experience, which benefits everyone, including our extensive network of restaurant and grocery partners." Just Eat Expands Drone Delivery Footprint Just Eat is committed to implementing innovative solutions to deliver a positive customer experience, and the launch of Just Eat's AI Assistant comes as the company announces an extension of its partnership with Manna Drone Delivery to roll out the use of drones for deliveries in Ireland. The company previously worked with Manna as part of a pilot in Galway in 2021. Starting in Ireland, with plans to roll the partnership out in other markets across Europe, this service provides a new delivery option for customers, enabling them to receive their orders from participating partners via drones, which will be deployed from local delivery hubs operated by Manna. Once the food has been loaded onto the drone, customers will receive their orders in as little as three minutes. The aim of this partnership is to improve operational efficiency during peak times, giving customers flexibility and convenience in how they receive their order, helping to drive a more efficient customer experience. This partnership marks a significant step forward in revolutionising food delivery in Ireland, combining Just Eat's commitment to convenience and Manna's cutting-edge drone technology to offer faster, more innovative service to customers. "At Boojum, we're always looking for innovative ways to enhance our customer experience and to stay ahead of the curve and integrating Manna Drone Delivery with Just Eat encapsulates that. Speed, convenience, and quality are at the heart of what we do, and this partnership allows us to bring our fresh, bold flavours to customers in a whole new way. "We're excited to be at the forefront of this concept and can't wait for more of our customers to experience their favourite Boojum meals delivered by drone,"commented Rob Powell, Head of Operations at Boojum.

This week we’re focusing on how politics can affect stock markets, from Brexit and emerging markets to Donald Trump’s trade policies. Let’s start with Brexit. Our first guest, - Michael Metcalfe, Head of Global Macro Strategy at State Street, likens a no deal or hard Brexit to a natural disaster that it will inflict serious damage on the UK economy. Donald Trump's tax reforms will cause inflation and this will cause interest rates to rise, but dwindling liquidity is a concern too, says Jeff Boswell, Manager, Investec Global Total Return Credit Fund. Continuing with president Trump, Somerset Capital's Ed Lam says you can't ignore political risk when investing in emerging markets, and so is favouring India and investing away from Trump's tariffs. Our next guest is Olufemi Mada, Senior investment Analyst for Morningstar investment Management who talks to us about why it has been a difficult 2018 for emerging market bonds. Specifically, he discusses how Turkey and Argentina are only a small proportion of the bond market - but their current problems have impacted returns across the asset class.

You may have heard the story about the famous bank robber, Slick Willie Sutton. In the early 1950 s, after a series of bank robberies, the police finally caught up with Slick Willie. When he was asked why he robbed banks, Mr. Sutton explained, "Because that s where the money is." Well, times have changed. Today, we think of someone completely different when we hear the name "Slick Willie." And banks are no longer necessariy the best place to find money, at least not if you re looking to borrow capital to invest in your business. Here in Louisiana, one of the alternative places you can turn to for bisness financing is Cardinal Capital Commercial Financial Services. Cardinal reportedly has over 4,000 sources of capital, including pension funds and insurance companies, who are ready to put money into Louisiana businesses. The CMO and partner in Cardinal Capital is Rob Powell. In business, everybody loves a success story. We all want to be successful. But, if by success, we think of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos, we re most likely all going to have to define ourselves as failures. One of the keys to success is defining what success looks like, to you. Maybe it s tons of money. Maybe it s a small fishing camp. Maybe it s having a career that gives you a work life balance. Whatever it is, once you ve defined it, you can map out a path for how to get there. That, of course, is a lot easier said than done. Unless you know Joel Dawson. Joel Dawson is a business consultant, a sales consultant, and motivational speaker. If you ve ever had periods of self doubt, where you ve wondered if any of your hard work will ever amount to anything, a few minutes with Joel will dispel all of those thoughts surer than a shot of whisky and a Roddy Romero song.

Whether you re starting a business or growing a business, one of the biggest challenges you face is access to capital. Where do you find investors How do you get a loan It s a problem that is not at all unique to Baton Rouge, but in a mid sized city like ours it can be particularly challenging for entrepreneurs and business owners. Rob Powell is in the business of helping find solutions to the access to capital dilemma. He owns Cardinal Capital, a commercial loan and equity brokerage house. It s a relatively new venture for Rob, who has more than two decades experience with some successful companies, including Grand Casinos and Rain Forest Caf , both of which he helped take public in the 1990s. Rob has extensive experience in marketing and branding and his career has taken him around the world. Now he s back in his hometown of Baton Rouge helping connect business ventures to sources of capital across the country. When Rob is helping clients identify sources of financing, among the places he looks is the bank. Jude Melville is the bank. Jude is President and CEO of Business First Bank, a rapidly growing full service bank with a particular emphasis as its name suggests on being a commercial lending institution with a focus on business clientele. In 2015 Business First completed a merger with American Gateway Bank in Baton Rouge, giving the new Business First Bank assets of more than 1.1 billion and 16 branches around the state. Bradley Sanchez is a young entrepreneur, a Baton Rouge native and LSU graduate, who went off to work for a Broadway production company in New York before returning to his hometown to work in marketing with Pinnacle Entertainment. In 2013, Bradley opened The Salad Shop on Perkins Road and in 2015 opened a second location on Coursey. Bradley s looking to expand in and beyond Baton Rouge. Jude and Rob kick around some growth options with him. By all accounts there s money for business in Baton Rouge. If you want to find out where exactly and how to get your hands on it, this conversation over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard is a good place to start.
