      That's false. You don't take loans from selling stock, the company sells stock and need not return. The proper term is capital financing.
      Loans are either from issuing bonds or taking loans from financial institutions.

      True. People want even salad made by someone else. Because of lazyness partly, even salad takes a bit of time and effort. Look at ready cut fruits or bread. The more made, the less time you spend on it. We live at such speed, no body has time to put energy even in the food. Which is really sad.

      It's a difficult time for brick and mortar businesses like SweetGreen & WeWork. The only way they can get investments from VCs is if they are able to get data of the customers they are catering to. That's why you would see any businesses set up in these times using these words, it might be just a ploy to lure in more investments.

    People get this conception that salads should be cheap if not free, but eating healthy is expensive in the US. I have not liked any kind of salad until Sweetgreen. I was very skeptical of their price and still am. I go there once a while when I need to load my body up with veggies. Yes it's expensive, but my body feels better than eating that pasta plate which costs even more. Also their portions are big enough that I get full with two thirds of the salad.

    • @celestema2506
      @celestema2506 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@Mwoods2272 Yes, but it's not economic for me. I eat salads once or maybe twice a week. I like brussles sprouts, squash, tofu, and BBQ chicken in my salads, which all require cooking. All these together would require at least half an hour of work. The next week, some veggies will have gone bad and I will need to replace. Plus I've no idea how to make delicious salad dressing. No, the ones I get from a grocery store don't taste good. If I do the calculation, that's at least $20 upfront cost to make a salad or two, then time to throw them away.
      My point is, Sweetgreen is the only one in the market that makes delicious salads. That's why they are free to inflate the price and people still buy from them. Once more restaurants step up and create the competitions, Sweetgreen will have to lower their price to keep the customers.

    I really like them being bound to local doctrines and thus serving the local food producers and consumers and their marketing works, (that's what you get when you pay these people tons of $$$$), but I dislike their obsessive millennial tech focus. When you're pitching to investors you're telling about your future plans and I'm not sure if their ABC - AI, Blockchain and Ceasar Salad- will be living up to the hype created - if any, at all.
    AI could be interesting in suggesting personalized options of course and to predict food orders. There's a potential great use case.
    Blockchain has been the biggest fad in recent years and it does have use cases for payments, tracking and supply chain, but placing the trust issue on your food producers is like engaging with a party that you don't trust by definition. Why would food producers want to compromise their food quality? Of course they wouldn't, because they care about their produce - they're high end crop farmers.
    I'm also not sure what value it would give to your users, as they already know that their veggies are coming from local farms.
    I don't see it working out anytime soon and I'm pretty sure that investors just got extra triggered by the supposed tech to be involved. Either way, they're very inspiring entrepreneurs and I wish them all the best, including more affordable prices for the main public.
    P.S If anyone knows about their blockchain plans, please update me.
