Revenue Management Solutions Introduces Conjoint Analysis Solution

Revenue Management Solutions

A tailored Conjoint Analysis solution from restaurant data leader Revenue Management Solutions is now available worldwide to restaurant operators developing new markets, menus and products in an increasingly complex environment. A pioneering name in pricing for nearly 30 years, RMS recognizes that restaurants need new solutions to revolutionize their competitive strategies and drive profitability. Its Conjoint Analysis, previously available only to clients for special projects, presents selected participants with realistic item trade-off scenarios so brands can gain insights into factors impacting purchasing decisions and price sensitivity. Restaurants use the data to shape future pricing decisions, product development and menu designs without risking “real-world” traffic loss. “As brands prepare to make critical business decisions in 2024, we stand as a partner, relying on our research acumen and industry expertise,” said RMS Chief Research & Development Officer Sebastian Fernandez. “Using new technologies, our experienced statisticians tailor each conjoint study to meet client needs, so the results are relevant and lead to profitability.” Operators can choose between two conjoint study techniques. Choice-based studies replicate real-life purchasing behavior and outcomes, providing valuable pricing and product strategies. The more complex menu-based studies mimic restaurant ordering behavior. Participants build combinations of items from a full menu so brands can optimize menu and price, forecast revenue and uncover sales opportunities. Conjoint Analysis at Work To illustrate the power of choice-based conjoint studies, RMS surveyed more than 3,000 US quick-service restaurant (QSR) diners to understand item-specific value. Respondents weighed in on chicken sandwiches, nuggets and bone-in chicken at popular brands, including Chick-fil-A, Popeyes, KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Wingstop and Jack in the Box. The results uncovered: How QSR brands stack up across different chicken offerings Which brands are favored by different generations, regions and households How price sensitivity affects the most popular choices and what brands are most vulnerable to trade down “Conjoint analysis, in tandem with RMS’ pricing expertise, reveals a window into future consumer behavior,” said Fernandez. “Our in-depth chicken market study underscores the powerful value of these insights for restaurant brands looking to better understand their customer preferences and pricing strategies.” Contact RMS today to learn how conjoint analysis can benefit your restaurant. About Revenue Management Solutions For over 25 years, Revenue Management Solutions (RMS) has partnered with restaurant brands to deliver actionable insights and data-driven solutions to boost sales, streamline costs and maximize profitability.

Thruvision Group sees resurgence in demand for entrance security

Thruvision Group PLC

Thruvision Group PLC (AIM:THRU, OTC:DIGTF) CEO Colin Evans speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London about his hopes for the future of the people-screening business. Evans starts by giving some background on the scanning technology Thruvision has developed. Originating from British government space labs, he says Thruvision's technology detects items concealed under clothing from a distance. Unlike traditional airport body scanners or metal detectors, Thruvision operates at a range of up to 10 meters, leveraging body heat visibility to detect hidden objects, thereby eliminating the need for physical pat-downs. He says the technology is particularly relevant in retail and distribution centres, addressing the escalating issue of shoplifting and employee theft, which amounts to billions in losses annually. Thruvision's market research highlights a significant theft problem in distribution centres, where their technology can be deployed to deter theft and provide a non-intrusive security solution. Evans also discussed Thruvision’s applications in international customs, notably with US Customs for detecting drugs and cash across the Mexico border, saying that the resurgence of interest in entrance security, especially for detecting weapons and explosives due to recent geopolitical events, signifies Thruvision's growing relevance.

Analyst Dark Defender Bullish on Ripple’s Future – Everlodge and Solana Become Trader's Favorites

Total Media

Dark Defender, a notable crypto analyst among Web3 circles, noted how Ripple (XRP) could soon see a major price upswing. Solana (SOL) is also green on the charts, and Everlodge (ELDG) can become a major player in the real estate market. All three of these cryptocurrencies are being considered by crypto investors and analysts. Today, we will go over their price performance charts to see how far they can rise. Summary Ripple to climb as high as $1.26 by the end of 2023. Solana to see an upswing in value to $66.56 by the end of Q4 Everlodge can spike in value by 37x at launch Ripple (XRP) Is Projected to Grow by Crypto Analyst Dark Defender The Ripple (XRP) value has seen a major upswing during the past week. It has also gathered attention from numerous investors and traders, making it one of the more notable altcoins. One major analyst, Dark Defender, claims that Ripple can see an upswing as long as it surpasses the short-term price target of $0.66. The crypto did just that, and during the past week, XRP moved in value up from $0.583616 to $0.725864. The Ripple market cap is at $36,511,436,546, and many investors are now diversifying through it. According to the Ripple price prediction, it can surge to $1.26 by the end of 2023. Solana (SOL) Is Bullish and Can Spike to $66.56 Solana (SOL) saw a spike in its value during the past week, and investors are taking note. In the past 24 hours, the Solana trading volume increased by 26%. During the past week, Solana increased in value from a low point of $36.02 to a high point of $45.05. In addition, the crypto saw a price upswing of 79.2% in the past 30 days. As a result, the future for this crypto is bullish. According to the Solana price prediction, it can climb as high as $66.56 by the end of 2023. Everlodge (ELDG) to Feature a Launchpad But Ripple and Solana were not the only two cryptos to grab attention. This is an upcoming project where the team is building a platform through which anyone can invest in luxury vacation properties with ease. A key feature behind Everlodge is non-fungible token (NFT) technology and fractionalization. Their goal is to integrate NFTs to represent shares in properties. These will then be split into smaller parts that people can buy for as little as $100. This would enable far more people the opportunity to own a high-end real estate property with ease. Everlodge will also allow property developers to connect with the community and get funding for their projects through the Launchpad. This way, investors can also benefit by having high ROI. There are also passive income opportunities through co-owning rental properties or staking the native token. ELDG is the native crypto that can also be used for governance and now trades at $0.023 during Stage 6 of the presale. At launch, analysts project that it can spike by 37x.

Oman Government Incorporates Yepic’s Generative AI to Relay Real-Time Election Results to Citizens

Yepic AI

In a world-first, the entire elections were conducted online and incorporated AI throughout to increase transparency and engagement London-based Yepic AI’s custom avatars were used as AI presenters to deliver real-time election results throughout the day In a world-first end-to-end online election, the Oman government revealed its Shura election results to citizens in real-time using generative artificial intelligence (AI). The Ministry of Interior partnered with London-based generative AI startup Yepic AI to bring the election results to citizens in a more visual and engaging way. Yepic’s API enables the creation of high-quality videos at scale within minutes and in multiple languages, all made from a single photo. Its technology was used to create custom avatars reflective of the Omani community, who then delivered the election results in real-time to citizens over the course of the day. The elections reporting process is an AI-driven workflow that starts with online voting verified by AI-powered facial recognition technology. The results were then compiled and announced via scripts created by a large language model (LLM) specifically developed for the elections by AiCubes and then read out by Yepic’s AI presenters. The hope is that by serving information to citizens in a more visual, personalised and engaging way, civic participation in the election process will increase. On an hourly basis, 400 unique videos were generated, accessible via an app, and disseminated to each province. In total, Yepic AI produced over 10,000 state-of-the-art videos over the course of the day in six languages, including Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Chinese and Russian. Aaron Jones, Co-founder and CEO of Yepic AI, said: “Harnessing the power of generative AI to revolutionise the way election results are communicated is a momentous stride for Yepic AI and for Oman as a nation. We're deeply honored to collaborate with the Oman government on this pioneering venture. Our mission at Yepic AI is to transform the way we communicate through video. To see our technology being harnessed in this way is a testament to the fact we’re realising it. We're thrilled to be a part of this historical moment and look forward to continued collaboration with Oman as it looks to integrate AI into public services to enhance citizens' lives.” Ioannis Kazantzidis, Co-founder and CTO of Yepic AI said: "Our collaboration with the Oman government highlights the ocean of opportunities for real-time, personalised video content creation, ushering in a new era of innovation and engagement in the digital landscape. Real-time video generation integrated into workflows and at scale is the future of how we will interact with AI, and receive and deliver information. It has been great to work with Oman to be at the forefront of this work." Following the Oman government's Vision 2040, a strategy that prioritizes a diversified, dynamic and globalized economy, Yepic will continue to collaborate with Oman to enhance AI-driven digital experiences for its citizens. ### About Yepic AI Yepic AI is a London-based generative AI video startup, which was co-founded in 2020 by Aaron Jones, a serial, award-winning entrepreneur, and Dr. Ioannis Kazantzidis, a leading computer vision scientist. It is on a mission to revolutionise how the world interacts with AI. With the Yepic Studio, users can rapidly render videos of talking avatars in real-time from just a single photo; with the API, developers can create automated video workflows at scale; and with ChatGP-Me, users can turn their headshots into talking chatbots powered by LLMs, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
