But this isn’t CAC right? Tens of thousands of hardware costs, maintenance, and then CAC on top. Don’t forget that restaurants are primarily SMB and have among the highest failure rate in the American economy! Incredibly difficult segment to get unit economics on, even jsut for software companies (see toasts early struggles)
"the only path that works is the one that looks like you." So true. I read the book "Why greatness cannot be planned" last year and was struck by the intuitive of-course-ness of the thesis. Greatness can only stumbled into. Any striving for it takes you away from it.
But to live into one's uniqueness is... kinda painful! So full of uncertainty, of doubt. But to do anything else is to live life as a shadow, an echo of someone else's path. So how to manage? Total doubt, total confidence.
This is very incomplete: "the battle you are fighting here is against humanity’s nature. To really fix this issue, you have to elevate the human condition first."
You are fighting the intersection of human nature and Capitalism. Omitting the Capitalism part makes it seem like a fundamental human dysfunction but it's not, or at least it is only made as problematic and destructive as it is (by far) due to the amplifying effects of financially-driven attention aggregators.
And I really have no idea what you mean by "elevate the human condition". Can you clarify that? Is it even actionable?
12 month CAC Payback is awesome, top tier, especially for a product with hardware
The top ten median cac payback for software is 2 years. Median is more than 3 years.

"People ask for the road to Cold Mountain,
but no road reaches Cold Mountain.
Summer sky– still ice won't melt.
The sun comes out but gets obscured by mist.
Imitating me, where does that get you?
My mind isn't like yours.
When your mind is like mine
you can enter here."
– Hanshan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)
