Chef Ana Roš Just Said NO to The World's 50 Best

On this episode of the Repertoire Report, Ray Delucci covers why acclaimed chef Ana Roš of Hiša Franko is skipping The 50 Best awards in Lima, and what it means when "visibility becomes the currency" in restaurant award systems. Then: Sweetgreen's plan to let top restaurant managers earn more than $200,000 a year, DoorDash's $17 billion deal to buy Instacart and what more consolidation in delivery could mean for restaurant fees, and the FTC lawsuit accusing Toast of hidden fees, surprise add-ons, and misleading claims about 24/7 support.

We also look at new research showing how fake Yelp reviews can hurt a restaurant for more than a year, Just Eat apologizing for AI-generated menu photos that went badly wrong, and TikTok's new Must Eat restaurant guide, which could rival Michelin and 50 Best in how much business it drives.
