    Cost of revenue is mostly insurance costs [1]. If you look at their financials, they show gross bookings, which include both the full billed values for food and delivery, and trans…

    They're localized to the green/sprouted spots. And to a lesser extent the skin. I'm not sure how the skin changes in the process, but I do know that the white flesh has minimal cha…

    Or plant it, if it's a decent size, it can yield over 1lbs of potatoes in 3 months. In my area it's low maintenance. If you have limited space, I've had 5 lbs worth in a 15 gallon …

    They use sprout inhibitors on large scale potato growing, which are effective in my area (we can keep most potatoes for over a month before there are any sprouts). If you tend to b…

    There are already many effective processes that have been developed, schools however don't want to implement them for varying reasons (blind marking for example). An example from D…

    Small construction tools (drills, portable table saws, angle grinders) is largely done at big box stores, however smaller stores sell a fair amount, plus specialty product, but the…

    We deal with a similar problem in construction materials, and it's not that simple. Situation: 1)Customer picks up product, other falls on the ground and becomes damaged, product -…

    This is anecdotal, so take it with a grain: I worked for a credit card processor about a decade ago, and it was routine to have the merchant run a penny transaction on the terminal…

    I understood what was meant. Companies don't just start marketing once they have multi billion dollar profitability. If you're consumer focused, you spend on marketing, if you're b…

    Incidentally, half of those companies you've mentioned are in the top 50 spenders for marketing [1]. I'd hazard to say that they are all in the top 100 in global spend. [1] https:/…

    I've never personally used them, but there were many products like it back in the day. Specifically a quick search brought up this from the 90's: https://www.amazon.ca/First-Octons…

    Perhaps I'm being pedantic, to the point, most Indian food is vegetarian, not vegan. They love their milk, cheese, and honey.

    That's what I'm curious about. With that margin I'd guess CPG with a re-branded product. Most retailers are lucky to see anything north of 50% gross margin. I would have imagined a…
