Quick read. Big ideas. Check it out.

There's a certain irony here.

One of the most famous movie theater chains in the country built part of its brand around telling guests to put their phones away.

Now they're encouraging guests to use them to order food and drinks.
Why? Because it works.

In this clip from Behind the Tab, Jim Matthes of Aloma Cinema & Grill explains why mobile ordering isn't a gimmick or a trend. It's simply a more efficient way to serve guests.
Less waiting.
Faster food.
Fewer bottlenecks.
Better experiences.
Sometimes the best operational decisions are the ones that seem controversial at first and obvious a few years later.

Everyone sees the pickleball boom.

What fewer people see is what actually makes a pickleball venue profitable.

🏓 It's not just the courts.

It's the food.
It's the drinks.
It's the events.
It's the guest experience.

In this clip, Joe De La Torre from Crushyard shares how a simple idea—"we can do food better"—turned into a fast-growing pickleball and eatertainment brand with locations in Charleston, Orlando, and Nashville.

One of my favorite takeaways:

The team didn't just open more locations. They used every opening to refine the formula and improve the next one.

If you're thinking about opening a pickleball venue, social gaming concept, or entertainment destination, this is a great lesson in scaling smarter—not just bigger.

Growth doesn’t always come from chasing the next big thing.

In this clip from our recent Behind the Tab podcast, Kevin Irvin from Atlantucky talks about focusing on the people who already show up — especially on the slow days.

The Tuesday regulars.
The Wednesday crowd.
The people you actually build a community around.

That mindset changes everything: Events. Marketing. Hospitality. Even how you make guests want to come back again.

Come hang with us and Kevin and hear more conversations like this at next month's CBP Connects Chicago.
