Four Seasons Housekeeping Training Checklist
SFO - FRA has to be incredibly profitable . Only Lufthansa and Unites fly it (codeshare partners ). Regular economy for the rest of the year is around 2300 USD round trip and closer to the flight it’s around 3500. It’s completely ridiculous compared to other more competitive routes like London.
The World's Most Profitable Flights
Sydney to Melbourne is #2 and is barely a 1 hour flight.
The World's Most Profitable Flights
Bit stupid crunching it by revenue. Obviously the long routes generate the most rev, but they also have the highest fuel costs.
The World's Most Profitable Flights
I am flabbergasted that Qantas has the #2 slot for Melbourne-Sydney! No wonder players like Compass and OzJet tried to shoulder into that market (with little success) 10 or 20 years ago. I know of a couple of friends who live in one city and literally commute to the other every day/week for work,...

When you buy a can of diced tomatoes, how do you think were they diced? Do you think it was done manually? I'm pretty sure slicing and dicing vegetables is a problem that has been solved at industrial scale a long time ago.

Burger Robot Startup Opens First Restaurant

Creator’s transparent burger robot doesn’t grind your brisket and chuck steak into a gourmet patty until you order it. That’s just one way this startup, formerly known as Momentum Machines, wants to serve the world’s freshest cheeseburger for just $6. On June 27th, after eight years in development, Creator unveils its first robot restaurant before opening to the public in September. We got a sneak peek…err…taste. When I ask how a startup launching one eatery at a time could become a $10 billion company, Creator co-founder and CEO Alex Vardakostas looks me dead in the eye and says, “the...

Founder's Angry Outburst Saved Burger King

In the mid-1950s, Burger King had only a few struggling outlets in Florida, plagued with hamburger-broiling contraptions that frequently broke down.  Dave Edgerton, one of the founders, was running out of patience. Finally, incensed with yet another machine meltdown, he pulled a hatchet from his toolbox and smashed one of the stainless steel cookers, according to a memoir by his partner, James McLamore. Mr. Edgerton then bellowed: “I can build a better machine than this pile of junk.”  His tantrum was the start of a turnaround that put Burger King on track to become a serious...

How the Rich Ride the Rails

WHEN JOHN WEBB takes his family to California, Washington and Oregon for vacation from his home in Dutchess County, N.Y., they don't fly or drive. They travel hooked to the back of an Amtrak train in a 1950s-era private railcar that Mr. Webb spent three years and nearly $1 million restoring.  Traveling across the country by private rail takes a lot of planning, requiring connections to various trains and layovers. But Mr. Webb, 35, says he and his 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter prefer it to their family's second home in the Adirondacks because every day they wake up somewhere...
