Join us for an enlightening episode as we tackle the unexpected challenges and lessons learned while building a platform. We share their frustration of being promised a one-month project completion only to face an eight-month delay before launch. This leads us into a discussion on the importance of realistic planning and expectations in project development. Next, we take a closer look at the journey of creating a new business aimed at improving the service industry. Motivated by personal experiences with poor service, we discuss how the idea evolved to incentivise better service through transparent and motivating tipping systems. We also share their early days of industry research, including door-knocking and fact-finding missions.Finally, we explore the evolving landscape of tipping in the hair and beauty industry and the shift from cash to digital payments.
