Chipotle hitting a best-ever sales day off a tattoo-focused promo is the clearest signal: loyalty isn’t points anymore—it’s identity.

Hot take: the strongest marketing channel is customers who want to be seen buying your product.

Blank Street going bigger is a sign the coffee war is shifting from “who’s closest?” to “who’s best at keeping you coming back.” Experience + throughput wins.

Hot take: the best coffee app is the one that reduces friction so much you stop comparing prices. Loyalty is the moat.
