Food delivery gets fancy — Point of Sale

What’s new in food tech?

This episode is sponsored by ArcBest. ArcBest is more than logistics. Whatever you do, whatever you ship, ArcBest makes it easier for you to do business.

Between Uber Eats, GrubHub, Instacart and more, there is no shortage of food or grocery delivery services, but what about optimizing those deliveries with ghost kitchens and micro-fulfillment centers?

That’s exactly what HNGRY is aiming to do with its advances into food technology. 

Andrew Cox talks to Matt Newberg, founder of food-tech media startup HNGRY, about how the world of delivery is changing and will continue to evolve even as people go back to in-person grocery shopping and dining in.

The two discuss the biggest trends in rapid food delivery, micro-fulfillment, ghost kitchens and foodtech.
