Deciding By Data

One day in 2003, Noah Glass was fed up with waiting in line for coffee. There must be a better way, he thought. Today, he is the Founder and CEO of Olo, which provides order-ahead technology for 200 restaurant brands, including sweetgreen, Chipotle and Shake Shack, across 40,000 locations. Olo has raised over $63 million and says that when brands add digital ordering to their restaurants, they see on average a 25 percent increase in ticket size. In this episode, we explore: -How delivery is changing the game for restaurants — and why grocery stores want in on the action. -How data can construct the perfect menu. -What weird ordering habits Olo keeps track of. -Why Amazon would want to acquire Whole Foods. -And so much more!

We'd love to see you at our first live podcast recording on April 3rd at the UX + Data Meetup in NYC. We will be interviewing Meetup Co-Founder and CEO Scott Heiferman a
