In this episode, Tim is joined by Robert Chen (https://www.theoohinsider.com/guests/robert-chen/) , CEO of eatmise (https://eatmise.com/) , a food delivery platform in New York City.
They talk about how eatmise partners with top restaurants to bring prepped, ready-to-cook ingredients to customers' doors, allowing them to cook restaurant-quality meals in under 10 to 15 minutes.
They discuss the challenges of upending an established business model and of building a three-sided marketplace, and how, by restricting their supply side to a curated offering of premier restaurants and dishes, they're able to drive demand and scale, profitably and predictably.
Do You Create Value or not?
It’s a simple question, but an honest one.
And in a crowded market, it’s the most important.
Join eatmise CEO, Robert Chen, and I as we break down his founder’s story and apply the lessons of a disruptive NYC food-delivery platform to the job to be done with OOH advertising and enabling brands to access the ultimate canvas.
