I-El Pollo Loco ithe iza kuba yinkampani yokuqala yokupheka kuzwelonke ukuzama ukuhanjiswa kweedrone.
Ngomhla wama-24 kweyeSilimela, ivenkile yokutyela yaseCosta Mesa, eyaziwa ngenkukhu yayo eyosiweyo ngomlilo, iza kuvavanya i-“Air Loco”, eyinkonzo yokuhambisa idrone ukusuka ekhitshini levenkile yokutyela ukuya ebaleni langasemva lomthengi.
Njengoko abantu abaninzi beodola ukutya ngexesha lobhubhane, iindawo zokutyela zikhangela ezinye iindlela ezingabizi kakhulu nezisebenzayo zokuhambisa ukutya emakhayeni abathengi. Ngo-2016, iAmazon yayiyenye yeenkampani zokuqala ukuxoxa ngokusetyenziswa kwee-autopilot ukuhambisa iipakeji eminyango yabathengi kwimizuzu engama-30 okanye ngaphantsi. Kodwa iAmazon Prime Air ayikaqali kwaye isetyenziswa kakhulu.
Njengoko i-Federal Aviation Administration isandula ukuvuma imithetho yokubonelela ngeenkonzo zokuhambisa ebantwini, kulindeleke ukuba iidrone ezininzi zibhabhe esibhakabhakeni ukuze zibonelele ngeendawo zokutyela kunye nezinye iintlobo zeenkonzo zokuhambisa.
Kwi-El Pollo Loco, iinkonzo zokuhambisa ziye zaba yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yeshishini layo ngexesha lobhubhane, ukwanda kwe-250% kunonyaka ophelileyo, ngelixa iinkonzo zedrone ziyindlela yokuphepha iinkonzo zokuhambisa zemveli ezifana neGrubhub, Uber Eats, DoorDash, njl. Indlela yokuhlawulisa iifizi zenkonzo. Abanye bahlawulisa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-30% yeefizi zentengiselwano. Le yindlela yokuhambisa iimveliso ezininzi ngokukhawuleza kwaye kulindeleke ukuba ibe nexabiso eliphantsi kwaye ilungele abathengi.
U-Andy Rebhun, usekela mongameli kunye necandelo ledijithali le-El Pollo Loco, uthe: “Sifuna ukukhokela ekuboneleleni ngamava angalibalekiyo kubathengi bethu ngendlela engabizi kakhulu, eyonwabisayo nethembekileyo engazange izame uhlobo lwevenkile yokutyela ngaphambili.” Igosa litshilo kwi-imeyile.
Ezinye iindawo zokutyela ziye zavavanya ukuhanjiswa kweedrone kwiindawo ezikhethiweyo zokuthathwa, njengeendawo zokupaka, apho izithuthi zokuthutha ziya kuthatha izinto kwindawo yokulahla zize zizise emakhayeni abathengi ukuze ziye kuma apho kumiswe khona okokugqibela. URebhun uthe i-El Pollo Loco inethemba lokuthatha amanyathelo okuhambisa izinto ngqo kwiiyadi zabathengi okanye kwiingcango zangaphambili.
Uthe: “Ndikholelwa ukuba ukuhanjiswa kweedrone yenye yeendlela ezizinzileyo nezingabizi kakhulu zokuhanjiswa kokutya kwixesha elizayo.” “Ndikholelwa ukuba kuya kubakho imodeli yokuhanjiswa ehlukeneyo kwixesha elizayo, kwaye iinkampani ziya kukhetha eyona ndlela isebenzayo nenenzuzo enesantya esiphezulu sokusebenza.”
I-El Pollo Loco isebenza kwiprojekthi yokuvavanya iFlytrex, inkampani entsha yedrone eTel Aviv, eyenza kwaye isebenzise iidrone ezizimeleyo ezibhabha ngesantya seemayile ezingama-32 ngeyure kwaye isebenzisa indlela yokukhulula intambo ukwehlisa ukutya kancinci ukusuka kwiimitha ezingama-80.
Idrone esetyenziselwa le nkonzo ikwaxhotyiswe ngebhokisi yokuhambisa esisigxina egcina iodolo injalo, oko kuthetha ukuba umthengi uya kufumana iodolo egqunywe ngepakeji entsha ekhethekileyo ye-El Pollo Loco-esetyenziselwa ukugcina ukutya kuninzi. Ukuhanjiswa kwexesha elide kufika ngokukhawuleza kunepakeji yesiqhelo.
URebhun uthe xa iodolo iphuma kwindawo yokutyela, ukutya kuya kulayishwa kwidrone ye-Air Loco, kwaye xa isuka, iya kuphakama iye kwiimitha ezingama-200 ize iqalise ukubhabha iye kwindawo eya kuyo. Idrone inokuthwala ukutya okufikelela kwiikhilogram eziyi-6.6. Nje ukuba ukutya kuwiswe kwintambo ende engama-80 eemitha, ibhegi yokuhambisa evaliweyo engaphazanyiswayo iyasuswa kwi-crane kwaye abathengi banokuthatha ukutya kwabo.
Le nkampani ithe i-El Pollo Loco iza kuqalisa iiprojekthi zovavanyo kwiindawo zokutyela ezili-10, eziza kukhethwa kwiintsuku ezingama-45 ukuya kuma-60 ezizayo. Emva kokuba uvavanyo lugqityiwe, iceba ukuyandisa kwiindawo zokutyela ezingama-480 ngokusekwe kwimfuno kunye nokuvunywa komthetho we-FAA. Le nkampani ithe ngexesha lovavanyo, amanye amalungu eLoco Rewards e-El Pollo Loco eMzantsi California aza kumangaliswa yenye yeenqwelo moya zokuqala.
Abahlalutyi baqikelela ukuba nokuba iindawo zokutyela zingavula kwakhona iinkonzo zazo zokupheka ezipheleleyo, uku-odola kwi-intanethi kuya kuqhubeka kukhula kulo nyaka. Imarike yehlabathi yokuhanjiswa kokutya kwi-intanethi kulindeleke ukuba ikhule ukusuka kwi-USD 115.07 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2020 ukuya kwi-USD 126.91 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2021.
Kwiminyaka emihlanu edlulileyo, uku-odola ukutya kwi-intanethi kunye nokuhanjiswa kweevenkile zokutyela kukhule ngama-20%, kwaye kulindeleke ukuba kube malunga nama-40% azo zonke iintengiso zeevenkile zokutyela ngo-2025.
IFlytrex kunye neWalmart baqalise inkqubo yovavanyo eFayetteville, eNorth Carolina ukubonelela ngoluhlu lwezinto ezifunekayo zokutya kunye nezinto zasekhaya. Ikwabonelela ngeziselo kunye neepastries zeStarbucks.
Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, iPizza Hut Israel yathi iza kuthumela iidrone ezingezizo ezeenqwelo moya ukuhambisa ipizza. Kodwa inkampani yathi endaweni yokuhambisa ngqo ekhayeni lomthengi, idrone iza kubeka iodolo kwindawo yokufika evunyiweyo ngurhulumente (njengendawo yokupaka), aze umqhubi agqibezele indawo yokugqibela yokuhambisa apho.

UDaria Shapovalova noNatalia Modenova bafuna ukukuthengisela iimpahla, kodwa hayi ezo zixhonywe kwikhabhathi yakho.
Iimpahla zabo ezibonakalayo zinokulungiswa ngokweposti yakho elandelayo ye-Instagram, nto leyo eyenza abalandeli bacinge ukuba uchithe amawaka eedola kwilokhwe eyilwe ngumtshana ka-Alexander McQueen.
Inkampani yabo entsha yemfashini yedijithali eseLos Angeles, iDressX, yakha ithala leencwadi leempahla zoyilo, iisweatshi kunye neewallet ezibiza kancinci kunezo zokwenyani. Kwaye, bathi, akukho zindleko zokusingqongileyo kwimveliso, uthutho, kunye nenkunkuma.
UShopovalova, umseki-mncedisi weDressX, uthe: “Oku kwenzelwe abenzi bomxholo abangafuni ukuchitha imali engaphezulu kwiimpahla.” “Bangasebenzisa ikhamera ukufota iividiyo ezirekhodiweyo zeStory kunye neTikTok.”
Emva kokuskrola iphepha leempahla, abathengi banokujonga ngekhadi letyala, bafake ifoto yabo, baze benze naziphi na izicelo ezikhethekileyo.
Emva koko, iqela leDressX laqala umsebenzi wokufaka impahla yedijithali kwifoto yomthengi. Emva kosuku olunye, umfanekiso wokugqibela uthunyelwa kumsebenzisi nge-imeyile kunye neefayile zeprojekthi.
Nje ukuba i-app yeselula yenkampani entsha iqalise ukusebenza ngasekupheleni kwale nyanga, abasebenzisi banokuhlawula umrhumo wobhaliso wenyanga ukuze bafumane izinto ezithile zempahla njengezihluzi ze-augmented reality. Cinga ngayo njengesihluzi se-Snapchat esinefashoni ephezulu nesinesitayile, apho abadali bomxholo banokuthatha iividiyo ze-YouTube okanye amabali e-Instagram ngelixa benxibe impahla ebonakalayo.
NgoLwesibini, iDresx igqibe umjikelo wembewu ye- $2 yezigidi zeerandi ukuqalisa iqonga kunye nokuseka imakethi yayo ye-NFT.
Ngaphambi kweCOVID-19, iqela elilawulayo leDressX lavula indawo yokubonisa ebizwa ngokuba yiMore Dash eLos Angeles, apho abathengi banokunxiba khona impahla eqeshiweyo ukuze bathathe imifanekiso yedijithali. Batshintshele kwi-Intanethi ngo-Agasti kunyaka ophelileyo baza baqalisa ukuthengisa kubathengi beminyaka yoo-1900 kunye ne-Gen Z ukuze baxhathise ishishini lefashoni ekhawulezayo.
“Masithi uneminyaka eli-15 ubudala kwaye awunamali yaneleyo yokuthenga impahla oyifunayo,” utshilo uShopovalova. “Kwifashoni yedijithali, unganxiba phantse nantoni na.”
Le nkampani ngoku idwelisa iimpahla kunye nezixhobo zabayili befashoni abangaphezu kwe-100 be-3D kunye nabayili befashoni bendabuko, kuquka iPaska yase-Ukraine kunye nenkampani yezihlangu iBuffalo London. I-12% ukuya kwi-30% yentengiso nganye iya kubuyiselwa kumyili, ngaphandle kwempahla yeDressX eyenzelwe ngaphakathi.
Kukho ijezi ye-$25 eprintiweyo enemizobo kaPaul Cezanne kunye nelokhwe ye-haute couture esebenzisana ne-$100, ecwangciswe ngetekhnoloji kaGoogle. Ngo-Epreli walo nyaka, iDressX yabamba umboniso wefashoni kwi-intanethi kunye nomtshana womyili u-Alexander McQueen uGary James McQueen, owayethengisa iimpahla ngedijithali kuphela.
“Oku kuphula imida yeshishini lefashoni elikhoyo,” utshilo uShapovalova, owayesakuba ngumsasazi weTV yefashoni owanceda ekuqaliseni iVeki yeFashoni yaseUkraine.
Kunyaka ozayo, uthe injongo yenkampani kukwazisa iimpawu ezintsha eziza kuvumela abasebenzisi ukuba banxibe iimpahla zeDressX kwiZoom okanye kwiGoogle Meet.
Olu ngcelele lwembewu lukhokelwa yiArtemis Fund kunye ne-Alpha Edison. Le nkampani ithe inkxaso-mali eyongezelelweyo ivela kwi-Unlock Venture Partners, i-One Way Ventures, i-Signal Peak Ventures, i-TLF Ventures, i-Startup Mavericks kunye nabatyali-mali abaziingelosi abavela kumashishini emfashini, ubuchwepheshe kunye ne-blockchain.

Nangona kukho ukhuphiswano olunzima ngakumbi kwimfazwe yokusasaza, abahlalutyi beBank of America bathi ngoLwesibini bakholelwa ukuba iNetflix isengukumkani womxholo kwaye balindele ukuba ngeli xesha kunyaka ozayo, ixabiso lesabelo senkampani iLos Gatos liza kunyukela kwi-$680 ngesabelo ngasinye.
Imfazwe yeendaba ezisasazwayo idlula kumjikelo wokudibana okuqatha. Emva kokudibana okukhulu phakathi kweWarnerMedia kunye neDiscovery, eqhuba iHBO Max, iAmazon ichithe isiqingatha sesibini sikaMeyi ukuze ithenge iMGM. Zombini ezi ntengiselwano zisafuna imvume yomthetho.
Ukuze kuhambelane nesantya, abahlalutyi beBank of America bathi kwingxelo yophando bacinga ukuba iNetflix inika ingqalelo kumalungelo e-franchise kunye namanye amalungelo epropathi yengqondo, angasetyenziswa kwiimuvi ezintsha nakwiinkqubo ukuxhasa ukhetho lwayo. Oku kuchasene nendlela eyathathwa yi-Amazon ekhuphisana nayo xa yachitha i-$8.45 yezigidigidi ukongeza i-MGM Studios ukuze ifumane umxholo wethala leencwadi kwistudiyo esidumileyo saseHollywood.
I-Netflix ibigxile kakhulu kwicandelo le-e-commerce, ijonge ukufumana iingenelo ngaphezu kwezinye iindlela zokusasaza iindaba, kodwa abahlalutyi abachukumiseki.
Kule ntwasahlobo, iNetflix ivule ivenkile entsha ekwi-intanethi ethengisa iimpahla kunye noonodoli bemidlalo kunye nezinye izixhobo ezinxulumene nomxholo wayo. Ngokutsho kweThe Information, inkampani enkulu yokusasaza kuthiwa ifuna ukuqesha abaphathi bemidlalo. Kodwa abahlalutyi bathi akukho nanye kwezi ndlela zimbini eya kubanika ithuba.
Kutshanje iNetflix ibhengeze ubudlelwane beminyaka emininzi ne-studio kaSteven Spielberg yokuvelisa i-Amblin Partners, eza kukhupha iimuvi ezintsha ezininzi minyaka le. Abahlalutyi bayivuyele le sivumelwano, besithi “sincede” ukuxhasa itshaneli yeemuvi yeNetflix. Bakwabize isizini yesibini ye-“Lupin” (eyaqala ngoJuni), “Bridgetown” kunye ne-“Witcher” (eyaqala kamva kulo nyaka) njengomxholo wokuqala obalulekileyo weNetflix okwangoku.
Kwixesha elizayo, abahlalutyi banikel’ ingqalelo kwiziphumo ezinokubakho zesicwangciso sikarhulumente waseBritane sokulawula iinkonzo zeendaba zokusasaza zaseMelika. Akukacaci okwangoku ukuba zeziphi utshintsho oluza kwenziwa, kodwa abahlalutyi bagxininise ukuba uMphathiswa weNkcubeko wase-United Kingdom ukhathazekile kukuba abanye ababukeli banokuyibona idrama edumileyo ethi “The Crown” njengento engeyonyani. Isicwangciso sikarhulumente siza kubhengezwa kamva kule veki.

Ngokwesiqhelo, utyalo-mali lwangaphambi kwe-IPO lugcinelwe abatyali-zimali abaziingelosi kunye nabatyali-zimali bamaziko, abanokukhupha imali xa inkampani sele iphumile.
Kodwa uTodd Goldberg kunye noDarren Marble, iqela elingasemva kothotho oluzayo olufana neShark Tank oluthi “Coming to Market”, banesicwangciso sokulinganisa ukhuphiswano.
Kanye njengokuba uRobinhood wongeza amathuba okuba abatyali-mali bangene eWall Street, iMarble kunye neGoldberg babiza olu luhlu ngokuthi “yiRobinhood of Angel Investment.”
Njengoko abasunguli besebenza nzima ukuze bafumane i-IPO enokubakho kwiNasdaq Stock Exchange, olu ngcelele luza kunika ababukeli ithuba lokutyala imali kwenye yeenkampani ezintlanu ezintsha abazilandelayo.
UGoldberg noMarble bangamalungu e-CEO eCrush Capital, inkampani yotyalo-mali eseBeverly Hills. Le nkqubo iza kusasazwa kwi-Entrepreneur.com kule ntwasahlobo.
Into abayithethayo kubatyali-mali kukuba iCrush ivumela utyelelo lwe-IPO ukuba lube yintando yesininzi. Abatyali-mali babonakala beyithenga: I-Crush Capital iqokelele i-US$2.75 yezigidi kumjikelo wesibini wenkxaso-mali, ekhokelwa yi-AYA Capital Holdings, ilandelwa yiZilliqa Capital. Ukonyuswa kwemivuzo yamva nje kwenza ukuba iyonke ibe yi-$6 yezigidi.
“Into enye edibanisa abantu abagqiba ekubeni batyale imali, nokuba kumjikelo wembewu okanye kulo mjikelo, kukuba bafumana utyalo-mali ngoko nangoko,” utshilo uGoldberg.
