Better Beef, Smarter AI

<p>Welcome to Markets to Menus. This week, John Goodwin joins host David Maloni to break down what's shaping up to be a more encouraging picture for beef supplies, a softer table egg market, and the latest movement in coffee. They dig into the resumption of cattle imports from Mexico and what a bottom in beef production could mean heading into the back half of the year, why egg demand is still working its way back after those record grocery-store prices, and what's pulling coffee back down to earth after its summer run.<br /></p><p>David is then joined by John Davie, CEO and Founder of Buyers Edge Platform and CEO of CollectivIQ, for an in-depth conversation on AI and what it means for the future of the industry. John walks through the four divisions of Buyers Edge, why he built CollectivIQ as an "AI consensus" engine that queries every leading model at once, and how the company's new digital direct reports are helping operators do more with less. It's a candid look at where AI is taking food service — and one practical piece of advice for anyone who feels like they're falling behind.<br /></p><p><b>Connect with our Host:</b></p><p>LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmaloni/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmaloni/</a><br /></p><p><b>Connect with our Guests:</b></p><p>John Goodwin: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-goodwin-23574a129/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-goodwin-23574a129/</a></p><p>John Davie: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-davie-5788a18/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-davie-5788a18/</a></p><p></p><p><b>This episode is brought to you by ArrowStream CommodityONE, delivering superior commodity research and forecasts powered by deep Industry expertise &amp; cutting edge AI.</b></p><p>Find out more about us here:</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://arrowstream.com/commodityone-for-foodservice-supply-chain/" target="_blank">https://arrowstream.com/commodityone-for-foodservice-supply-chain/</a></p>
