What is so unique about Zume Pizza?
A small start-up called Zume Pizza is attracting lot of attention. It employs $100,000 robots to make the pizzas and owns delivery vans that cook the pizzas on the way to give buyers piping hot pizzas.
Zume’s business model has caught the eye of competing companies. As observed by Julia Collins, co-founder of Zume, some of them are taking images of the office and the delivery vans. To protect its technology, Zume has patented the process of cooking pizzas in moving vans.
The Economist reports that although Zume has started well, there could be stumbling blocks along the way. It is very capital-intensive, having invested heavily in robots and technologically advanced delivery vans. Therefore, it will take a long time to break even, or to increase production to serve a wider region. Moreover, investments in innovative technology has not shown expected results for companies like grilled cheese sandwich-maker "The Melt" and vegan mayonnaise-maker "Hampton Creek."
The American pizza industry is worth $34 billion and dominated by Pizza Hut, Domino’s, and Papa John’s. It will take some doing for Zume Pizza to gain consumer confidence and a strong market share.
