Zignyl + Jersey Mike's

Mary Pillow Thompson — Tue, 12 May 2026 18:09:18 GMT

THE CHALLENGE

Management 360, a multi-unit Jersey Mike’s franchisee based in Long Island, NY, was running their operation the way most franchise groups do: on gut feel, copy-paste schedules, and reports that told them what already went wrong. Stores were reactive rather than proactive. Schedules were built on instinct or copied from the prior week, task completion was inconsistent across locations, and payroll processing was eating hours every week. In their own words: they were leaving money on the table.

THE CHALLENGE

Snack concepts live and die in short, intense peak windows where understaffed shifts mean missed sales and overstaffed ones silently destroy margin. This operator had no real-time visibility into whether their teams were winning or losing during the shift.

The U.S. Federal Reserve Visits Miso to Learn About AI and Robotics

stephengoldbytes — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

The U.S. Federal Reserve has identified Miso as a leading voice in AI and robotics, visiting our team to learn more about the role automation is playing in restaurants and hospitality.

The Fed came to meet Flippy in person and to better understand how companies like Miso are deploying AI and robotics to address real operational challenges. Flippy joined Miso CEO Rich Hull in making the case for what this technology can do.

AI and robotics can play a meaningful role in supporting a restaurant industry that employs roughly 10% of the U.S. workforce, but is under significant pressure to modernize operations and, in many cases, simply survive.

This kind of engagement reflects more than curiosity. It reinforces Miso’s position as a company actively shaping how AI and robotics are adopted in one of the largest industries in the world. As the conversation around AI and its economic impact accelerates, Miso is helping define where the technology goes next.

Miso CEO Joins NYSE Live at the Opening Bell

Miso was invited to the New York Stock Exchange for its first-ever visit: a chance to meet members of the NYSE team and appear on NYSE Live at the opening bell.

It was a notable day at the exchange. The SEC Chairman had traveled to New York City to ring the bell and open the markets, making for a historic backdrop.

The NYSE identifies private companies with momentum who are leading the charge in high-growth areas like AI and robotics. That search brought them to Miso.

Just after the opening bell, Miso CEO Rich Hull spoke live from the floor of the exchange about Miso’s restaurant and hospitality AI and robotics, Flippy’s first installation in an NBA arena, and the recent acquisition that now powers our Zippy platform.

The NYSE has long been considered a pinnacle of American business. Miso was honored to walk those same halls. It was a day that reflected how far Miso has come and where the company is headed.
