    • Pitch The Tide: Scott Siegel – Co Founder and CEO of Curbit

      Pitch The Tide: Scott Siegel – Co Founder and CEO of Curbit
      Feb 19 2026
      In this Pitch The Tide session, Scott Siegel, co-founder and CEO of Curbit, introduces a real-time order orchestration platform built to help restaurants manage digital order flow and reduce wait times. Curbit connects to kitchen and ordering systems to monitor production, adjust promise times, and communicate accurate pickup updates to guests. Instead of relying on static estimates or turning off orders during busy periods, brands gain live visibility into kitchen capacity. The focus of the pitch is clear: improve fulfillment accuracy, reduce operational chaos, and deliver a better guest experience at scale.

      Interview Takeaways:
      • Most digital order delays are a visibility problem — Restaurants often rely on static promise times without real-time insight into kitchen capacity, leading to long waits, cold food, and operational stress.
      • Real-time order orchestration improves accuracy and efficiency — Curbit connects kitchen and ordering systems to dynamically adjust timing, manage order flow, and help guests arrive when food is ready.
      • Better timing drives better business outcomes — More accurate fulfillment leads to higher guest satisfaction, improved repeat visits, stronger ratings, and increased digital revenue.

    • Rising Tides Live: AI Writing (No More Slop)

      Rising Tides Live: AI Writing (No More Slop)
      Feb 17 2026
      AI writing took center stage on Rising Tides Live as Eric Farrell filled in for Shawn Walchef and led a candid conversation on how to use AI without losing your humanity. Restaurant operators, creators, and business leaders shared how they leverage tools like ChatGPT to draft content, analyze contracts, develop recipes, and clarify ideas, while warning against the growing wave of robotic “AI slop.” A clear theme emerged: AI is a powerful assistant, not a replacement. The operators who win will be the ones who bring context, personality, and real-world experience to every prompt.

      Interview Takeaways:
      • AI Is a Tool, Not a Shortcut – The strongest voices in the room agreed: AI should enhance your thinking, not replace it. The first draft is never the final draft. Context, editing, and human judgment are what separate meaningful content from automated noise.
      • Context Creates Quality – The more information you feed AI, the better the output. Transcripts, brand voice, real experiences, and specific instructions transform generic responses into usable material. Garbage in, garbage out still applies.
      • Humanity Wins the Algorithm – With AI-generated content flooding every platform, authenticity becomes the differentiator. Operators who bring personality, perspective, and lived experience to their prompts will stand out while low-effort “AI slop” gets ignored.
