Tuesday 7th of July 2026, the food and beverage (F&B) industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the rise of hybrid kitchens, the accelerating adoption of robotics and AI, and evolving operational and workforce strategies. This edition examines the hybrid kitchen model projected for 2027, explores the market forces propelling investments in physical AI and automation, and details the advanced technology stack and operational design imperatives reshaping safe, scalable, multi-channel kitchen environments. Understanding these interconnected trends is essential for leaders aiming to harness innovation while optimizing costs, agility, and guest experience in a competitive landscape. Executive Snapshot: The Hybrid Kitchen in 2027 The hybrid kitchen concept by 2027 epitomizes a transformative approach that combines traditional kitchen operations with cloud-based, delivery-only platforms. This model maximizes space and resources by serving multiple brands or menus from a single location, thereby reducing overhead and expanding market reach. A good example is Eatch Technologies in Zaandam. For F&B leaders, hybrid kitchens deliver increased operational flexibility and agility to respond swiftly to changing consumer tastes and surging off-premise dining demand. Key implications include enhanced scalability, data-driven menu innovation, and heightened responsiveness to trends such as immersive, personalized dining experiences and wellness-focused offerings. To fully capitalize, organizations must invest in integrated technology systems that unify operational and customer data, enabling seamless coordination across brands and sales channels. These innovations are critical for maintaining a competitive edge as consumer expectations for convenience, quality, and novelty converge Forbes and Hospitality Net

Hi everyone, this is my day 2 built. I scraped 30 jobs from a website. One thing I learned was using claude code on plan mode avoids a lot of problems and headaches. I can use the web scraping tool on a client or own business, a good idea would be to have a website which could aggregate discounts codes for shopping websites, products or services.

Has anyone setup an account portal linked to your website for your clients to access invoices, view token usage/limits (for voice agents) and retrieve artefacts and automation outputs? I’ve been looking at using something like o2sdev/openselfservice (GitHub) and I wanted to know if anyone had attempted to create a customer portal or done something similar, and had some useful tips for implementation and integration with other products. Let me know in the comments.

Yesterday, I shared the story of a UK lawyer who contacted us to build an AI platform for lawyers. Most people would start by choosing an AI model. We didn't. We started by asking one simple question: What is wasting a lawyer's time every single day? After studying the legal workflow, we identified 8 real operational problems: - Reading huge case files before hearings. - Connecting emails, evidence, notes, and documents. - Searching hundreds of pages for one key detail. - Finding contradictions across legal documents. - Rewriting the same documents repeatedly. - Dealing with AI tools that can't always be trusted. - Managing files spread across different systems. - Spending too much time on repetitive work instead of strategy and clients. This reminded us of something important. Great AI products don't begin with AI. They begin with understanding how people work. First, understand the workflow. Then remove the friction. Only then should AI become part of the solution. That's how we build products at Greatodeal. Now I'm curious... If you run a business, what's the one repetitive task your team does every week that you wish AI could take over? Share it in the comments. You never know it might become the next product we build together.
