Dogball Factory

Speaker 2
Here's what you do.
Speaker 4
You order 10 pizzas, pay DoorDash $160, and then DoorDash goes to your restaurant and pays you $240. And then those pizzas you can just take, eat. Eat them, throw them out, doesn't
Speaker 2
matter. As long as you keep buying them, you keep making money. Ranjan
Speaker 8
came up with that and we just started doing that. He started sending pizzas to
Speaker 2
his wife, his friends. Then Ranjan has this kind of, he's like, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. We can even take this to another level.
Speaker 4
What if we just have a box with dough? Do we even need a pizza? Because dough at that point is effectively costless. The driver will still hold something. And, you know, the driver doesn't really care either way. So his
Speaker 2
cost now is even going down. Sweet. This is so funny. He's basically just ordering dough balls. And he's like a minting money, right? Yeah.
Speaker 4
Yeah. And Ranjan is like, okay, here's what we do now. I sitting here in New York, I'm joking with him. I'm like, fire all your employees. Oh, my God. Just basically become a dough ball factory. Wow. Like there's no need to do anything else. Your top line revenue is just going to explode. And then you go to Domino's and say, look at this business. It's incredible. You know, like that is the Silicon Valley way of doing business.
Speaker 2
I mean, this is basically the game that DoorDash is playing. Like so many of these Silicon Valley startups, it doesn't matter if you're actually making anything as long as it looks like you're growing and you're a good investment. So let's just beat them at their own game. I
Speaker 7
mean, it is easy to like just see DoorDash as the bad guy. Yeah. Is that how you see it? Well,
