Acelerate provides next level of service for restaurant and ghost kitchens
Interesting article at Springwise (link in title) about Acelerate. An AI software company that provides a service for restaurants to manage their entire digital footprint, including orders, menu updates and marketing, from one unified platform. They just announced a €12.15 million Series A investment round led by American venture capital firm Sequoia Capital. They help the increasing number of restaurants that are selling through multiple other platforms (like Doordash, Uber Eats or GrubHub) by unifying where these platforms are managed from. Acelerate has also developed seven proprietary restaurant brands, all with their own menus, which they license to restaurants. This “host kitchen” model allows restaurants to maximize their space during downtimes and generate added revenue. It sounds like next level of AI restaurant software, but with a high fee for their monthly subscription.
Leap™ created by Beyond Leather | Vegan Leather made out of apple waste
Vegan Leather would be a great product to create aprons from to use in a sustainable restaurant!
Leap™ is created by Beyond Leather based in Copenhagen, Denmark. They combine leftovers from apple juice and cider production with natural rubber to create a plant-based leather alternative called Leap. The animal hide substitute is made by mixing apple waste with natural rubber and applying it to a textile backing made of cotton and wood fibre before finishing it with a protective coating, creating a three-layered structure that can be disassembled at the end of its life. More info in the article at Dezeen, link in the title.
MeaTech announced the launch of cultivated pork development
MeaTech 3D Ltd. (Nasdaq: MITC) (TASE: MITC), a technology company developing a suite of advanced manufacturing technologies to produce cultured meat products, in July announced the initiation of cultivated pork research and development activities, focusing on cell lines and technologies for the potential future mass production of cultivated pork.
This expansion of MeaTech’s research and development activities to include pork is part of its strategy to develop a broad cellular agriculture technology offering, which already includes beef and chicken cell lines. Porcine cellular agriculture, if successfully developed, has the potential to expand MeaTech’s potential addressable markets, as pork is currently the most consumed meat across the globe.

Van Gogh is popular this summer!
The digital popularity of the Dutch painter is growing, with the ‘Beyond Van Gogh’ show in Anaheim, the ‘Immersive Van Gogh’ in Hollywood and the same ‘Immersive Van Gogh’ in London as well. Across a roughly half-hour loop set to a swelling classical score, you’ll watch about 300 paintings projected onto the floor, walls and a trio of portrait-shaped columns. In London the exhibition is in three parts, each one dedicated to a different section of the Dutch artist’s life. All based on the French equivalent L’Atelier des Lumières museum! We so happy we will get a ‘Fabrique des Lumières’ in Amsterdam, this new digital art center will open its doors in April 2022 and lets hope that one of their exhibitions will be the Van Gogh paintings.
Eggslut opens new restaurant in Shoreditch and creates an edible breakfast cloud
Los Angeles brunch dons Eggslut are set to launch a brand new restaurant in Shoreditch this summer and what better way to celebrate than by creating a rather imposing-looking edible breakfast cloud.
Teaming up with culinary experimentalists and jelly-fellas Bompas & Parr, the mustard-hued cloud will apparently taste like vegan bacon and come parping out of an Eggslut food truck. Hang around it take a big gulp, why don’t you? The truck will be situated in Ely’s Yard off Brick Lane every day from 8.30am-3pm on August 2-11 before it tootles off to park up by the new Eggslut on nearby Leonard Street from August 12-14. It will be the third location in London, they have 5 locations in California and Las Vegas, 2 in Tokyo and 1 in Seoul. Check out their Instagram post, text continues below the post.

SMiZE Cream by Tyra Banks | Premium ice cream with surprise hidden inside
In July SMiZE Cream launched with nationwide shipping and the grand opening of its first-ever ice cream shop location in Los Angeles, following its Spring 2021 pop-up. With the help of some of the best ice cream purveyors in the country, including SMiZE Cream’s Ice Cream Scientist, Dr. Maya Warren, Tyra Bank has created a decadent custard-style ice cream that’s a luxury for the taste buds, full of surprises and inspiration. When Supermodel, Super Businesswoman and now Super Ice Cream Connoisseur Tyra Banks, set out to create a super-premium ice cream brand, she knew SMiZE Cream couldn’t be just any ordinary treat. She decided to hide a yummy SMiZE Surprize at the bottom of every cup – a chunkalicious Cookie Dough truffle covered in naturally-colored sprinkles – a tasty reward that symbolizes what the brand stands for: Goal Getting & Dream Catching. We spotted it at Instagram but check out more details in the press release, link in the title. And do you know where SMiZE stands for? Its smiling with the eyes!
Hotel Paradiso in Paris is the world’s first ‘cinema hotel’
Hotel Paradiso is the world’s first ‘cinema hotel’, opened by the independent French film company MK2 near the Place de la Nation. Each room is actually a small cinema in itself, just get yourself in bed and choose one of some 10,000 films on offer and press a button. The screen descends over the window, the lights go out and you can enjoy your own private cinema.
All rooms have carefully studied sound quality and acoustics, and are so well sound-proofed that you will never have to worry about bothering your neighbors or hearing noise from other rooms. Guests can also watch their own content from their phones or play games on the screen. And of course you have to dial 007 for room service. The hotel is built atop a MK2 multiplex with six screens and guests have all kind of possibilities to entertain friends. Situated in the 12th arrondissement, the hotel has 36 rooms.
