OAKLAND — A different day brings the same story for many downtown Oakland businesses just trying to keep their income coming. The threats, harassment, stolen income, even defecation on their property, and all the damage they are constantly cleaning up is starting to hit a breaking point for business owners in their effort to keep going strong. The latest incident at Tay Ho Oakland Restaurant & Bar brought an unruly person into their restaurant, who threatened and harassed staff and customers inside. "Every day, it’s like what’s next," said Denise Huynh, the owner of Tay Ho Oakland Restaurant & Bar. "If someone is walking through my front door, I am in that mode of who is going to walk in, who is going to come in and give us trouble again because this has happened so often." Huynh’s mother owns the restaurant with her and spends her time cooking up their Vietnamese dishes in the kitchen. The family-owned restaurant has been here for 13 years. The colorful décor brings some light to the concrete jungle downtown but even those efforts get destroyed. "I had a cool artist that did some work, he spent weeks working on it," said Huynh. […]

Photo: Courtesy of Armani Armani Beauty wants to evolve for new generations without diluting what makes it classic. That means staying loyal to longtime ambassadors like Cate Blanchett, while signing up younger talent rooted in pop culture to boost its appeal on social media and other digital channels. Today, Armani Beauty is introducing Gen A, a cast of young celebrities who will represent the brand on a global stage. They include actors Camila Mendes, Maude Apatow, Lili Reinhart, Isabela Merced, Chase Stokes, Jonathan Daviss, Lukas Gage and Michael Evans Behling. All except one are in their twenties and feature in popular TV shows, such as Euphoria and Riverdale . Most importantly, they’re genuine fans of Armani Beauty — a primary requirement when selecting ambassadors, says the brand’s global president Veronique Gautier. It’s important that they’re not just pushing products, but feel excited and want to be part of the community, she explains. Unlike past ambassadors, they won’t appear much across traditional touchpoints such as billboards and magazines, but will feature in digital campaigns across e-commerce and social platforms including TikTok and Instagram, fronting a monthly cadence of online content. They’ll also represent the Italian brand at global events, such […]

8 Myles Mac N’ Cheese is clean, meaning no additives, but it is still mac and cheese. (Courtesy 8 Myles Mac N’ Cheese) McLean, Virginia, entrepreneur Myles Powell has grown his line of frozen, “clean” mac and cheese — 8 Myles Mac N’ Cheese — from a handful of stores to more than 1,200 retail locations, including retailers like Whole Foods, Sprouts Farmers Market, Balducci’s, and Target. Powell has raised more than $650,000 to date through angel investors, venture capital investors, and from small investors through crowd-investing platform Honeycomb Credit . Powell grew up in a food-loving family that spent a lot of time around the dining room table. Family favorites were always comfort food — collard greens, fried chicken and mac and cheese. While studying engineering, he started a food blog in 2012. That caught the attention of the Food Network after he applied to be on a new Food Network show, “America’s Best Cook,” in 2013. That did not go well. “Mind you, I had been cooking for just a couple of years,” Powell said. “I was still a rookie. The result was not great. I had to make duck, which I’d never cooked before. I got […]

getty In periods of economic uncertainty, business leaders look for ways to decrease costs and improve cash flow. They examine all facets of the operation for opportunities to save money and increase efficiency. Payments are an area business leaders shouldn’t overlook, especially in the context of a massive migration toward a digital-first payments approach. Surveys show people want seamless payment experiences and fast, friction-free payment options are quickly becoming a baseline expectation. As an early advocate for integrated payments, a past president of the Electronic Transactions Association and a payments professional who has spent more than two decades navigating turbulent economic times, I’ve witnessed firsthand the demand and benefits that seamless checkout processes can provide. Today, there’s no question that giving customers the experiences they want can help businesses operate more efficiently. After all, it’s in your best interest to make selling seamless; frictionless payments make purchasing easier and improve buying productivity in-store and online. Embedded payments also remove friction in the back office through automating reconciliation processes and increasing cash flow by decreasing accounts receivable. Payments are the instrument that enables commerce to be consummated, and with the right approach, embedded payments create value for buyers and sellers […]

Buses and business on Fifth Avenue By RY RIVARD and MARIE J. FRENCH 02/13/2023 10:00 AM EST Good morning and welcome to the Monday edition of the NewYork & New Jersey Energy newsletter. We’ll take a look at the week ahead and look back on what you may have missed last week. BUSES AND BUSINESS — POLITICO’s Danielle Muoio Dunn: As one of his first major infrastructure initiatives, Mayor Eric Adams plans to reconstruct the famous Fifth Avenue shopping corridor — wading into a fiery debate that has pitted high-end retailers and transportation advocacy groups over the future of car access in the heart of the nation’s biggest metropolis. Elected leaders are eager to draw people back to the area that has seen steep declines in foot traffic since the start of the pandemic, threatening tax revenue that funds essential city services and a hospitality industry that’s a major driver of tourism and jobs. But they must weigh any changes against the street’s function as a major transportation artery for hundreds of thousands of bus riders with connections to several subway lines. The move comes three years after former Mayor Bill de Blasio first attempted to transform Fifth Avenue […]
