The article discusses how Panera Bread had to rethink its service model seven years ago. Customers had to wait in line approximately eight minutes to place an order. Furthermore, ten percent of the time, the orders were incorrect. As a result, the company decided that online ordering was the solution to their problem. In 2012, the organization opened a Panera prototype in Braintree, Massachusetts to test the elements of “Panera 2.0”. “Panera 2.0” consisted of self-order kiosks, delivery, digital ordering and a new practice of bringing food to customers’ tables. Getting the right process took Panera Bread over six years. However, all the time spent and money invested paid off for the company. Panera is now recognized as one of the best-performing chains in the industry. In addition, a quarter of the company sales come from online ordering and customers waiting time to place an order reduced to one minute. In 2016, the company posted its best sales growth in four years, outperforming the industry average by 6.5% points.
Jonathan Kay talks about the flashy Uber app which is kind of silly since with a little more research online, he can find other apps similar to Uber, for example, the ride-sharing app “Lyft”. Kay’s points about Uber seems to be tongue-in-cheek, meaning that it may be understood as
One factor is the wait times. At both establishments orders can be placed prior to arrival, however I experienced a longer wait at Wingstop. This was probably due to the location and the popularity of the restaurant.
Even though Uber has significantly hurt the taxi industry, taxis still take a share of customers away from Uber. Taxi agencies have well defined laws and regulations and all drivers have professional taxi licenses making them more professional and legit than Uber drivers. Besides the original taxi agency, Uber faces strict competition with Lyft. Lyft is very similar to Uber and basically functions in the same way. The only real difference is that Lyft provides a friendlier experience while Uber provides a more professional experience. While, Getaround is a smaller organization that aims to offer hourly and daily rental rates for someone else 's
Lately in the media there has been much debate about the overtaking of the Taxi industry by Uber and whether or not it should be legal in today’s society.

Similarly the reader comment by Andrew published on The Age Online, contends that Uber is much safer and more convenient than the old taxi service that society used to rely so heavily upon.

While you are enjoying your company the cooks are preparing your food just like you would be preparing your own food at home. Once it has been fully prepared to your requests a waitress/waiter brings your food and is friendly to make sure all your needs are met. In a fast food joint, you place your order, pay for your meal, acquire the drink on your own, your food is normally already cooked and just being put on the bread or in the basket and then bagged/trayed for your convenience. The time is normally 5-10 minutes from the time your meal is paid for to the time it is being handed to you. The point is at a dine in restaurant the quality of the visit is based on not only how your food is prepared but how the workers are to you.

How long does it ordinarily take after you have ordered before you get to eat?
Food trucks are becoming increasing popular in the past few years. You can find them in every city and even some town in America. I’m not just talking about hot dog or ice-cream trucks. I am talking about the trucks that sell things like crab cakes, barbeque, fancy desserts, fish tacos, or upscale grilled cheese. The world of food trucks has changed so much. “People are looking at L.A. as a hotbed of the street food movement. (Robbins)” I think it has to do with the nice weather. Venders can sell food almost everyday. Also a lot of people live there and they all need to eat. Food trucks are a fast and convenient way to get good food. “During the first LA street fest the pair had anticipated they’d draw around 5,000 to the downtown event, not the estimated 20,000 fans who waited up to two hours for red velvet pancakes, mini banh mi, and lamb roti roll-up. (Robbins).” This was four times the amount of people they thought would show up. This tells us that they had a better idea than they ever thought. If people are willing to wait in for food from for two hours you know they must have something better. One of the great things about food truck is they are able to move around. They can go to the people. For instance, if there is a concert or a sporting event they can park right outside and people will just come to them. Also social media has had a very positive impact on food trucks. The trucks can post their location so people will know where to find them. People can voice their options about the food they have eaten. If a truck sees that people don’t like one of their items they can find out soon and start selling food people what to eat. Or when people have ideas of what they like to see on the menu they can voice their
