Disrupting Food Delivery: Roger Avats of...

FULL COMP: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry... ·

2021/02/26

Food delivery has always been complicated and prohibitively expensive and, when third party delivery came on the scene, it seemed like a godsend. It appeared to be an infrastructural solution to a foundational problem. But this gift has also been a curse for many restaurateurs. 30% commissions didn't make since when delivery constituted 15% of our sales. Now that it constitutes 80+ percent, the wheels are coming off the bus. Enter Roger Avats, a tech pioneer that has set his sights on saving the

There are roughly 1300 self made billionaires in the world. That may seem like a big number but when you compare that to the 7.8 billion people on the planet, it's incredibly small.

2021/02/05

My greatest frustration as a restaurateur has always been marketing. I knew we were doing a great job in the restaurant, I knew the community was in need of what we were offering but I had no idea how to effectively communicate that.

Today, I might come off as a little hypocritical. I've had the good fortune of having my brands grace the pages of almost every food publication in the country.

Those days and that kind of journalism need to be done. Today we chat with Antonio Diaz, founder of Life and Thyme, an independent food media magazine determined to highlight the people
