I was legitimately excited about this idea. If anyone wants to start a buffet with a monthly subscription, I may be your first customer.

A monthly subscription restaurant would be a true game changer.

I'm imagining going to a place where I sit and choose food without ever making price calculations, the restaurant also doesn't have to care about pushing drink orders or time spent at the table.

if the cost was low enough people would probably stop caring about optimizing and try to get their money's worth, while the restaurant would only need to focus on customer satisfaction to get renewals.

That must exist in some way, what is it ?

Edit: school restauration is that, and I genuinely think of it as a crucial system that helps so many kids. I could see company restaurants in the same light but the closed nature isn't great.

Includes how to forecast customer churn and retention, track subscription-based revenue, calculate gross ARR churn rate, suggestions for when to count revenue, etc. for other founders/startups that want to create a financial model.

The whitepaper has a few benchmarks vs. GPT-4. Most are reported benchmarks, though. Most of the blogs/news articles I've seen mention Google's push to focus on GPT-3.5. Found the whitepaper table way better at summarizing this. https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/gemini/gemini_...

Reminded me of Gunderson's exit post. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore, but found a small write-up about it: https://nicolaiarocci.com/a-big-nail-in-the-coffin-of-mysql/

As a startup we’ve worked on our financial models heavily over the last few years, but are always open to learning more.

Curious to know from other startups: What new things have you learned about financial modeling since the start of the pandemic? In what ways did you adjust for drastic changes? Any general takeaways on financial modeling and projections in the face of big events like this?
