And then the second area that we’re looking hard at and we’re actually going down the path of is franchising. So now there is a lot more opportunity for us to, to promote and license our software to other ghost kitchens without us having to physically own and operate restaurants. Literally this week will be our sixth anniversary of our first kitchen, but now there’s an entire ghost kitchen industry. So when we started and we started working on software in 2015, we didn’t open a kitchen until oh 2016. Well, we kind of have two paths we’re taking, um, but one is the technology itself. What is, what are your plans to grow ClusterTruck for the next few years? Chris Baggott So, um, you kind of got ahead of the curve on that. I’ve read one thing that says that one report that says that ghost kitchen revenue could reach a trillion dollars a year by 2030. well, that, that might be interesting to talk about as well, but ghost kitchens, the growth has been phenomenal, right? The past few years, you might say you got lucky in terms of when, when you started your company, pandemic hits and ghost kitchen growth is going through the roof. So ClusterTruck is a ghost kitchen, right? I mean, you’re comfortable with that term. It only worked if we controlled the entire stack, if you will. Where is the driver? When will they arrive to the kitchen? When should I cook the food? Uh, where is the customer and how can we maximize this process using machine learning and algorithms, um, to do that because a model didn’t exist, we literally had to build the prototype kitchens to kind of make the software work. You know, we started off to solve a technology problem, which is aligning, preparing food and the timing of preparing food with the delivery. So tell me how ClusterTruck is a technology company? Chris Baggott So if you follow TechPoint and the work that we do, and I know you’re very aware of TechPoint, um, this is a little different, right? This kind of, this kind of technology company is a little different than what we’re, what we’re used to looking at. Chris, thank you so much for allowing us into your building and we got to go into the one of the restaurants. Use the last entered car, and people can change it if need be.Well, I am with Chris Baggott, the CEO and co-founder of ClusterTruck. It’s just a bit of a pain having to manually enter my car info every single time. I get that could potentially change depending on who’s driving, but you already remember my name, phone number, credit card info, and everything I’ve ever ordered. Would also be great if you could just remember the Make/Model/color of my car. Because as an ASAP order, there is no option within the app to cancel. And if you don’t realize this before checking out, you’ve just placed an order for pickup ASAP with your only recourse being to call the restaurant directly to apologize and correct the pickup time. Once you do this, your “scheduled” pickup time that you previously set is switched to “ASAP”. Then, from the “recent orders” section, select a recent order and tap “Reorder now”. When you launch the app, select a “scheduled” time for pickup and schedule a particular time in the future for pickup. I’ve noticed a bit of a bug which has bitten me a couple times now. I use this app every week to order from Northstar, and it works very well.
