For decades, Silicon Valley has used pizza as a testing ground for new business models. Pizzerias were the first brick-and-mortar businesses to use Bitcoin. So why hasn't big tech captured the business of pizza-making itself? Well they tried, and this is the story of how they failed.

Food delivery robots are just one of the many examples of artificial intelligence applications in the food industry. Robot-powered Zume Pizza, valued at almost $4 billion, was one of the first of Derek Pietz’s projects in the food and restaurant industry. With a background in hardware, he started his own company- L2Fwhich built custom equipment to help businesses in the food and beverage space automate, which included building robots too. Now he’s making an impact as the VP of Automation at Hyphen Technologies (Formerly Ono Food Co.) where he’s crafting productivity tools for restaurants, analyzing restaurant data, and building robotic appliances. Labor shortages in the food and beverage industry are nothing new, but after a global pandemic, the industry was hit harder than ever. Foodservice organizations are turning to automation and robotic solutions to help conquer labor shortages and enhance food safety. Utilizing automation alongside employees can streamline processes, including production, assembly, quality control, and reporting. The time and labor saved allows for individuals to focus on cognitively challenging tasks and hospitality, while redundant work is mastered by a machine. Talking Points: Derek’s background as a mechanical engineer and how it led into the food and beverage industry How the power of AI has been utilized in the food and beverage space L2F’s mission and purpose How automation may play a larger role in the food and beverage industry Hyphen and how it is saving the industry Leveraging technology to let people focus on the human aspect Artificial intelligence versus machine intelligence What excites Derek about the future of AI in the food and beverage industry Resources/Links: UseHyphen.com FortressIQ If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and check out our series at fortressiq.com/podcast.

Verizon whips up a new pricing model for its cable TV, but it’s basically creating subscripturation in our lives. Softbank startups like Zume Pizza and Getaround are starting the year by firing employees (we’re in a new decade of unicorns). And 100% wine tariff threats may mess with your Friday evening pinot plans.

Julia Collins has dedicated her career to tackling some of the most difficult problems that our world faces: food insecurity, agricultural damage, ecological dead zones. Our food system is critical to everyone on this planet and Julia is the woman audacious enough to tackle it, head on. Julia has also dedicated her career to food. She started as a restaurateur working alongside Danny Meyer among others to open some of New York City's hottest restaurants.Then came tech inspiration, leading Julia to co-found Zume Pizza, recently shortened to Zume, a robotic food delivery company based in the bay area. Started in 2015, Zume aims to make healthy food fast and accessible. The company shortens and automates the entire supply chain of food delivery, preparing the food while it's being delivered to the customer and it all started with a crowd favorite pizza. Zume is one of those rare companies that has reached unicorn status. The company is valued at $2.25 billion and Julia is the first black woman to reach unicorn status with her company. Just to put it in perspective, a 2015 study showed that only 12 black women founders had raised at least $1 million in venture capital funding. By 2017 that number had nearly tripled to 34, but there is still a long way to go and Julia is working hard to make sure her story is no longer in outlier.

If you've read an article about Zume Pizza, chances are it focused on the how the company is using robotics to make pizza more efficiently. But here's the thing: while robot-assisted pizza production IS interesting, it is NOT what's the most intriguing part about Zume Pizza's business. No, instead it's the application of data analysis combined with what the company calls an "elastic" pizza delivery network that pushes final cook and delivery to where the most demand is that's what is the most revolutionary about this fast-growing pizza startup. In a sense, the company is applying cloud computing concepts to pizza creation, bringing the ability to scale fast to meet demand with highly efficient resources. This makes sense for a whole bunch of reasons. Traditional retail fast food involves hundreds of thousands - even sometimes millions of dollars - in fixed cost associated with each (to use a telecom term) "point of presence", but once the store is built you're stuck in one place. Why not move to meet demand where it's at, when it's at? That is what Zume is doing with a network of mobile pizza trucks that do final-cook in smart ovens and through a fleet of scooters that bring the pizza to the consumer's home. In today's podcast, Mike talks with Zume Pizza cofounder Julia Collins.
