The coffee might be poured by a human hand, but behind the counter, something far less traditional is calling the shots at an experimental café in Stockholm. San Francisco-based startup Andon Labs has put an artificial intelligence agent nicknamed “Mona” in charge at the eponymous Andon Café in the Swedish capital. While human baristas still brew the coffee and serve the orders, the AI agent—powered by Google’s Gemini—oversees almost every other aspect of the business, from hiring staff to managing inventory. It is not clear how long the experiment will last, but the AI agent appears to be struggling to…
McDonald’s value menu is adding value to franchisees. QSR Magazine reports that the burger giant’s U.S. same-store sales rose 3.9 percent in Q1, maintaining market share and outperforming competitors while much of the quick-service industry navigates soft traffic trends. The secret has been a disciplined value strategy that’s resonating with budget-conscious customers. McDonald’s introduced the Extra Value Meals program in September 2025, featuring items under $3, alongside a $4 breakfast meal deal. The Value Meals have been so successful that corporate support to franchisees is expected to come in below the initial estimate of approximately $35 million. “We’ve accomplished our…
Research shows that commitment reveals itself through small, repeated behaviors that shape trust, intimacy and long-term stability.gettyCommitment has a reputation problem in popular culture.

It…

In the most remote corners of the Chihuahuan Desert, federal officials say they are now betting that vertical limestone walls and cutting-edge surveillance will be more effective—and sustainable—than a physical fence.Planning for the wall began in January 2025, after Trump signed a proclamation to build a “Smart Wall” along the U.S-Mexico (Photo: David Goodell/500px via Getty Images)Published May 11, 2026 03:34PMFollowing bipartisan backlash over a proposed border wall through Big Bend National Park in Texas, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is reportedly scrapping plans for a physical barrier.

A $20 smoothie and a $19 single strawberry could only belong in one place: Erewhon, the luxury grocery chain and celebrity hotspot in Los Angeles. But as of last week, it’s not the only so-called hypebeast grocer in West Hollywood. Just a few blocks away from one of Erewhon’s various locations, Laurel Supply, a giant market filled with natural light and timber interiors, looks unmistakably like an Erewhon to those passing by. The team behind the venture are the owners of neighboring restaurant Laurel Hardware, meaning they had a deep knowledge of the area before opening, which according to the…
Key Takeaways When Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff took over the dating giant last February, he asked about the company’s internship program — only to be told that the previous CEO canceled it.

In this landscape, Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff is taking a different approach and doubling down on…
