When I tell fellow tech executives that every employee at sunday, from our engineers to our finance team, must complete a restaurant shift before they can fully onboard, I usually get confused looks. "You mean like, shadow someone?" they ask. No. I mean they tie on an apron, take orders, run food, and yes, deal with the 15-minute wait for the check that our product was literally built to eliminate.
Since it premiered in 2009, OVO has been seen by over seven million people in more than 40 countries, and it's back in London with a reimagined set design, reinvented music and new acrobatic acts.

You can't miss it, the giant Crossbar flanked by two stylised crosses in black on the whitewashed outside walls glares down the street, a stone's throw from Brighton's Churchill Square.

It's not enough to keep season plans limited to those requiring fans to buy more tickets than they can use, feeding the secondary markets which the Mets also get a cut of, but "make-your-own-plan" fans like me who've reliably occupied seats for decades,

This struck us is quite a profound insight, because our digital connection has basically been asynchronous, for the entirety of human existence so far. Suddenly we're hitting this point, which is now synchronous, so it's happening at the same speed as real life,"
Happy hour used to be a reliable business driver for bars and restaurants. Ever since the COVID-10 pandemic, that reliability has faded. Remote work, altered schedules and changing social habits have disrupted the traditional post-work drinking rush, forcing establishments to adapt - and raising questions about whether happy hour is disappearing altogether or simply evolving.
