Michael Farid shared thisBig news: Spyce is being acquired by Wonder. This one feels pretty special. We started Spyce almost exactly ten years ago in our tiny MIT basement with the idea that robotics could be a huge enabler for restaurants. Since then, we’ve lived through many chapters, from building machines out of plywood, to serving our first guests in Boston's Downtown Crossing and Harvard Square, to joining forces and scaling up with sweetgreen (soon to have 30+ sweetgreens powered by Infinite Kitchens!), and now finding an incredible new home and platform to keep building at Wonder. It’s hard to describe what it feels like to begin another new chapter - I'm so proud of what we've built and equally excited and inspired for what's ahead. I’m endlessly grateful to the amazing Spyce team who have stepped up to every challenge, always leading with thoughtfulness and empathy for our store operators. We’ve built the leading automation and robotics system for restaurants - that's no easy feat. A heartfelt thank you to Jonathan Neman, Nathaniel Ru, Nicolas Jammet, and the whole Sweetgreen team for taking a bet on us and giving Spyce the opportunity to thrive and scale. To the sweetgreen Infinite Kitchen head coaches, area leaders and team members: we're still here and excited to continue supporting you, learning from you, and deploying many more Infinite Kitchens! Francis Nubla, Eric Trevino, Colleen Myers, Shawn Yu, Jose Salazar, Annette Dabek and so many others: launching and scaling the Infinite Kitchen together has been the most rewarding experience of my career. To Marc Lore, Jay Naik, Andrew Gasper, Bart Stein, and everyone we’ve met so far at Wonder, we've appreciated getting to know you and we can’t wait to build the future of food together. We’ve always chased a big vision at Spyce, but this is the biggest vision yet. I’m more excited now than ever about what robotics and automation can do for restaurants - and I can't think of a better home than Wonder to go and build that future. And finally, to Kale Rogers, Luke Schlueter, Braden Knight and Charles Renwick. Happy almost 10 year anniversary. It's been quite the ride and hard to believe how far we've come from our little robotic spinning wok. Let's get dinner sometime :) Read more about the announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gxrHnrrVSweetgreen Sells Robotics Unit to Wonder for $186 MillionSweetgreen Sells Robotics Unit to Wonder for $186 Million

Michael Farid shared thisI respect Mark Cuban, but this take is wrong. He might be right about automated forklifts, but as someone who's been building physical automation for the past 8 years, I'm certain that demand for skilled trades will only grow. Some of the most valuable folks on my team don't have college degrees or are in technical hands-on roles unrelated to their college major. We also rely heavily on electricians, plumbers etc. to install and maintain our automation across the country. That's not going to change anytime soon. If you're good at problem solving and working with your hands and college isn't for you, learn a trade. On that note, we're hiring technicians at sweetgreen to help deploy and maintain our Infinite Kitchens across the country! If that sounds interesting to you or someone you know, apply below or send me a DM! https://lnkd.in/gaMyJJMM

Michael Farid reacted on thisProud to share Now or Never Studio's latest work for Matchaful in Tribeca. A project centered on ritual, craft, and creating a space that feels distinctly Matchaful as the brand continues to grow.Michael Farid reacted on thisExcited to share NoN Studio’s latest design for Matchaful's new Tribeca café. The Tribeca design builds upon the creative direction we established for the brand’s Williamsburg flagship expansion, exploring how a growing hospitality brand can scale while maintaining intimacy and identity. We translated Matchaful’s philosophy of ritual and transparency into a larger urban setting, carefully choreographing circulation, guest flow, and the relationship between customer and craft. We lowered the bar where matcha is prepared, bringing the whisking process into view and transforming a functional moment into a central part of the brand experience. For us, the project is an example of how physical space can do more than express a brand visually. It can make its values tangible through the way customers move, gather, observe and participate.

Michael Farid liked thisMichael Farid liked thisExcited to share my next chapter: I’m returning to Google after 15 years (!) to lead product management for real-time communications—Google Meet and Google Voice. I’m thrilled to work alongside a world-class team building the future of how people connect, share, and collaborate. With everything now possible through AI and Google’s unique ability to power the future of work, the opportunities ahead are massive. This transition also marks the end of nearly a decade working with one of the great entrepreneurs in the world: Marc Lore. Marc, thank you for being such an incredible boss, mentor, and friend. I’ll be based in Google’s NYC office and can’t wait to get started this week. If you see someone who looks like me from 15 years ago but with gray hair, come say hi!
