Don’t lock your toilet! Recently I’ve popped into the local shopping mall after my morning run. Budva, where I live, has this public toilet problem. Even if it’s paid, you can’t be sure it’s open, especially off-season… The only predictable places are the shopping mall (one in the entire city!) and the cafes. I only ask in the cafes if I’m truly desperate. By the way, do you? 🙃 So, I decided not to pop into my favorite cafe, cause I’m gonna stay there for coffee and breakfast, and get all too comfy 😊 What I found at the mall was a new lock with a pin pad, and a note, that the toilet is for staff only 😡 In one swift move, they’ve just killed their entire 2nd floor business 😱 Simple logic: I need to visit the toilet. On my way I might notice something I like in that little shop’s window. Now it’s more like never. This is really called an anchor tenant in retail. In a larger mall it’s an IKEA, or a Decathlon, or a food court (yep, that’s why they’re upstairs!). In a small one like this it’s you know, a toilet. As a #product manager I like the toilet as an anchor a lot. Solves a pressing problem, you know. And creates stable foot traffic for the less pressing ones, like buying a nice dress for a change. Locking your knowledge is like locking your toilet. Yes, you save a bit on managing the flow and cleaning up after unwanted guests (think spammy or aggressive comments on your blog). But you’ll lose so much more by losing the foot traffic. Except, in the world of #social media, you also lose a deep connection with your audience. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t wanna lock my knowledge, and would love to share more of it in my blog. Ask me anything in comments!

Today we're having a day out in the restaurant sector with Propel Info. and for Budget response? Des Gunewardena, founder D3 and co-founder D&D London. “The news on NI and rates will probably cost us half our profits next year. It’s quite a dramatic budget and a challenging one for our sector. We might remain a one-restaurant startup.” #Budget #hospitality

Alright, gather ‘round: Marqii just bagged $10 million to keep doing what they do best—turning the chaotic digital side of the restaurant biz into a smooth, streamlined machine. Next Coast Ventures clearly tasted something hot here, and they’re betting on Avi Goren and his team to keep raising the bar. Shoutout to Avi, Evan Perlmutter, and Bryan Rutcofsky for hustling this one across the finish line. Here’s the kicker: Marqii isn’t just another dashboard collecting dust. This platform syncs menus across 80+ sites in real time, no sweat. Forget outdated listings or scrambled details—Marqii connects directly to POS systems so every update flows like it’s right off the chef’s knife. And for the review fanatics, this isn’t your basic feedback aggregator. Marqii’s got tools that take raw customer feedback, break it down by sentiment and keywords, and serve it back as actionable insights. Now, that’s data that matters. Let’s talk scale: 12,000+ businesses are already on board, from Sage Hospitality Group to Margaritaville. Marqii’s making moves that mean ghost kitchens, virtual brands, and any biz in the hospitality space can control their digital real estate without breaking a sweat. When your online presence is half the battle in the restaurant game, that’s the difference between sinking and winning big. And those partnerships? MarketMan: Restaurant Inventory Management, a Meal Ticket portfolio product and Marqii teamed up for inventory management, and it’s integrations like these that turn a solid platform into a full-blown ecosystem. They’re setting the table for what’s next, and with 200% revenue growth since their seed round, it’s clear this is more than a flash in the pan. So, here’s the bottom line: Marqii’s not here to follow trends—they’re building the future of hospitality tech, one sync, one review, one insight at a time. And with $10M more to fuel that fire, this team’s just getting started. #Restaurants #Hospitality #ROOTS #HadTo 😎 #POS #RestaurantInventory #InventoryManagement #HospitalityTech #RestaurantTech #Technology #Innovation #TechEcosystem #StartupEcosystem #VentureCapital #StartupCapital #startups

The owners of Bunky’s were faced with a choice: knock out a wall, or move. Rachid Ouabel and Teresa Pullara-ouabel own Bunky’s, a popular hummus-maker on Madison’s east side. Rachid, once a civil engineer in Morocco, designed a custom machine for the business, collaborating with a Chinese company for two years to get it made. “It will fill our hummus containers way faster than what we’re doing now,” Pullara-Ouabel said, estimating that it will allow Bunky’s to fill 800 containers per hour instead of 250. Everything was looking great, except for one sticky problem. “This fabulous machine that my husband ordered didn’t fit in our building,” Pullara-Ouabel said. “We tried to have a window taken out, but (contractors said) ‘You’re going to have to take a wall out.’” Pullara-Ouabel closed Bunky’s Café in 2015 after 11 years on Atwood Avenue and moved exclusively to catering and wholesale food sales. By 2023, it had outgrown its Atwood space. Fortunately for Bunky’s, another local food company had recently outpaced its space too. Nearby at Main Street Industries, jam and preserves maker Quince & Apple was ready to vacate its suites. Soon, both made moves — Bunky’s took over some of Quince & Apple’s space at the business incubator at 931 E. Main St., while the latter business moved to Garver Feed Mill. For a wholesale food business like Bunky’s, the opportunity to move without taking out massive loans can feel like a stroke of luck. Small food businesses in Madison — bakers, food carts, vegan caterers, spice makers and microbrewers with tight margins and small staffs — can find themselves with an increasing customer base and no place to grow. Rents are up across Madison, and inflation has taken a toll.  “That’s the part that’s missing in this city,” Pullara-Ouabel said. For small-scale manufacturers, food carts and catering companies “who want to get to that next step … rents are so high right now.” Main Street Industries, where tenants find lower rent and support from Common Wealth Development, fills a gap in what entrepreneurs say is an increasingly untenable real estate market.
