Excellent opinion from Christopher Lord for Monocle Magazine - The Monocle Minute The Opinion SOCIETY | CHRISTOPHER LORD Tipping point Mark my words: US tipping culture is on the march and might soon be coming to an after-dinner bill, factura or Rechnung near you. I have always preferred not to complain about what is an unavoidable fact of dining out stateside, even if it confounds most visiting Europeans. Yet I have started to see its influence spreading overseas: a percentage point added to the cheque in London restaurants and a growing social pressure to fork out. Most Americans recognise that tipping has got out of control and think that restaurants should pay their staff more. Gratuity has become gratuitous. There’s a Trojan horse in this shift. Point-of-sale (POS) machines – those screens at the till on which you tap your card, digitally sign your name and then select a pre-ordained tip percentage – have become ubiquitous. Whereas adding 20 per cent was once a solid recognition of good service in the US, some POS machines now suggest that you add more than 35 per cent to your bill – all before you get your coffee. How do you know that the service will be any good? Alarmingly, tipping has now bled into retail and even self-checkouts at supermarkets. We all know that this is inherently wrong but, by deferring ever more to impersonal machines, common sense is ebbing away. This is far from sticking a note in a tip jar after a humorous chat with a barista. It’s not gathering up a stack of bills from the table at the end of a convivial meal. It’s a mathematical equation, an extra that has become an expectation. There are parallels with the additional costs of plane fares, such as for carry-on luggage and being allowed to board in a timely fashion. The bedrock of customer service has now become something that we must pay for. A good tip is a pleasure to give and a recognition of service done well. Giving should never be a given.

When we think of coffee shops, brick and mortar cafés usually spring to mind first. These businesses have a physical presence in buildings, and therefore always operate from the same location. There are, however, an increasing number of mobile coffee businesses in the industry – including coffee trucks. These businesses allow operators to move around and cater to a wider range of customers and events. Additionally, coffee trucks can allow business owners to enter the market more affordably, with less upfront investment required. So how does one start a coffee truck business? And can they ever be fully profitable? In today’s article, Janice Chinna Kanniah speaks to Howard Gill, Head of Sales at Grind, and Anthony Duckworth, owner of Dear Coco Street Coffee, to find out more. #PerfectDailyGrind #CoffeeTruck #MobileCoffee

Did you know Toronto's new single use and takeaway items bylaw goes into effect March 1st? Want to see a ✨ magic✨ AI summary of it? This is what I got when I fed the entire text of the bylaw into Notion and asked for a summary: "The City of Toronto passed a by-law in 2024 to regulate single-use and takeaway items to promote economic, social, and environmental well-being. The by-law, Chapter 702, deals with accessory food items, paper shopping bags, reusable shopping bags, and beverage cups. Single-use accessory food items like utensils, straws, napkins, etc., can only be provided to a customer upon request. Incompatible paper shopping bags are prohibited, and single-use paper shopping bags can only be provided if the customer requests one. Retail establishments must allow customers to use their own reusable shopping bags and reusable beverage cups. Cups must be of sound construction, in good repair, and clean. Penalties for contravening these regulations range from $500 to $100,000. Repeat offenders are liable to daily fines, and any economic advantage gained from contravention can result in a special fine equal to the value of the advantage. Inspectors have the power to inspect premises and enforce compliance with the by-law, and retail establishments may be required to correct contraventions at their own expense." If you're a Toronto business looking for help with compliance- -or you're a circular economy business looking for help providing the waste-reducing solutions businesses are going to want- Hit me up ;) #zerowaste #circulareconomy #toronto

In the article below, Shamil Thakrar sites Dishoom's culture as a large reason for success. Their culture is inextricably linked with their brand - arguably one of the UK's strongest restaurant brands. This same brand, flows through to the customer journey which comes to life throughout the whole interaction - from waiting in line, to paying (have you heard of the Matka, a dice roll that can get you a free meal). Many lessons of brand activation and driving customer satisfaction are to be learnt from Dishoom.

Check out my latest project, Maven Roasters' Coffee Shop Dashboard with #mavenanalytics! As a new franchise owner of the coffee shop, Maven Roasters, I was interested in getting a better understanding of purchasing behavior and streamlining operations. Transactional data from January to June 2023 was analyzed to create a dashboard aiding franchise owners in identifying patterns, trends, and opportunities. Objectives included data preparation, exploration via Excel PivotTables, and dashboard creation for visualization. Maven Roasters has three locations in New York City: Astoria, Hell's Kitchen, and Lower Manhattan. Analysis included Total Revenue by Month (line chart), Transactions by Day of Week (bar chart), Transactions by Hour of Day (bar chart), and Transactions by Product Category (bar chart), along with a table ranking Top 15 Products by Transactions and Revenue. Key findings: Astoria shows a consistent transaction trend throughout the day, while Hell's Kitchen peaks before noon and Lower Manhattan sees fewer transactions after 6pm. Total Revenue was lowest in Feb ($76K) and highest in Jun ($166K). Coffee emerged as the top performing Product Category, follows by Tea. Saturdays consistently ranked lowest in performance across all locations, with Monday and Thursday as the top-performing days. Recommendations: - We may need to look at adjusting operating hours at the Lower Manhattan location and for Saturdays to optimize foot traffic when transactions are high. - The Astoria location may benefit from opening at 6am instead of 7am. - Implementing a sales-focused marketing strategy in January and February to drive up Total Revenue.
