The food and beverage industry has always been incredibly competitive. After all, food is important to all of us.

Between any brand and a customer’s table lies a crowded, fiercely competitive marketplace. The advent of food apps and a growing consumer expectation of convenience has further heightened the competition.

What do a flint spear and your computer have in common? They’re both pieces of technology that have helped humans make their lives easier.

Google is coming for your cookies, and not the tasty kind lying safely in a tin in your kitchen, but the third-party ones that sit in your browser, watching, waiting, and storing all kinds of information.
