It brings me great joy that Wemby will have to watch this highlight his entire career.

.@claudeai - cancel my morning calls

Do any of my Landlord friends have experience with a restaurant using a ventless hood? Curious as to how it’s working? Pros? Cons?

I’m good with this…

Just watched a @DanielPriestley vid and he said, “I asked AI how much it would cost in tokens to do the work of a $75,000-a-year knowledge worker for a full year. The answer came back between $122 and $3,300. That's about 600 times cheaper than a human.” Thoughts?

Romeo from PJ Masks or close relative of @TheMoRegalado?

It’s 2026. AI can write code, close deals, and diagnose illnesses. But the building department still has you sitting at a desktop PC clicking through 1,600 pages of PDFs from 1941 like it’s a privilege.

Restaurants are making a big mistake thinking that @Google is just a search engine, it's so much more - it's infrastructure for your brand. Maps. Business profile AND search. It's AI pulling directly from your content. It's all connected. The brands building on it intentionally right now are going to look very different from the ones that aren't. Shoutout to all the product teams and of course, my man, the "straw that stirs the drink", @ShawnWalchef and everyone at the Restaurant Influencers Summit in Chicago this week.

NRA Show predictions: Every other food vendor mentions protein. Every other conversation mentions AI. Someone will tell me Claude changed their life. @RestShowIntl

Never not standing up for NYC restaurants @stratism

Forget parking for 3PD - restaurants need drop zones @Google @Wing

One of my franchisee clients sent this to his CEO and it’s so spot on I had to share. And, he is experienced, has net worth that exceeds that of some entire restaurant franchise concepts. This is how it’s going - 6months into our site search #restaurants

ICSC hack I’m stealing from a buddy. Take whatever AI platform you use. Upload the floor map of the show. Tell it your business, your goals, your existing meeting schedule. (probably already knows) Let it build your agenda. Who to see, where they are, when to go. You’ll cover more ground in less time.

Two shows compete for my calendar every year. @ICSC Las Vegas and @WeRRestaurants They overlap every single year. Same dates, every time. This year I chose the one where every single person in the building is either a current client, a future client, or someone I should know. NRA Show. Chicago. See you there.

A lot of people warned in 2022 that PPP just delayed the pain, seems like they were right. Year 3 & 4 of leases signed based on optimism post CV19 are coming due. Suburban NYC is starting to feel it.

Love the new zoning feature on. @CREXinc !

We have email. Text. DM. Phone. FaceTime. Voice memo. LinkedIn. WhatsApp. And somehow people in CRE still take 3 days to respond. This is going to end careers.

The shear joy 😭

I just had a landlord pass on a qualified multi unit operator. The reason? Too much of his liquidity was in crypto. Strong concept too. Real money. Just not in the format the landlord wanted to see. Question for you Landlords, has this come up for you? How’d you handle it?

I’ll meet you Saturday morning. I’ll move things around for Saturday morning. Cancel on me Saturday morning and suddenly I’m only available Tuesday at 2pm.
