Solomon Choi, the CEO of Jabba Brands, believes in the power of giving more to ask for more.

Reflecting on his early career, Choi made a bold decision for his family business early in his career, which ultimately paid off. By providing greater service, Choi was able to raise prices confidently, recognizing the value of catering to a captive audience.

Transitioning from running restaurants to becoming an investor, Choi applies that same strategic approach to startups. As an investor and advisor, Choi emphasizes the importance of identifying overlooked or undervalued aspects that can drive success.

At the core of Choi's philosophy lies the hospitality mindset, where the customer always comes first. Despite the advancements in technology, Choi believes that hospitality begins and ends with doing what's best for the customer. For him, success in business stems from a genuine desire to serve guests and create meaningful experiences that resonate with their needs.

By prioritizing customer-centric approaches and identifying unique business advantages, Choi continues to drive innovation and growth within the industry. As businesses navigate evolving landscapes, Choi's insights serve as a guiding light, inspiring entrepreneurs to embrace hospitality as a cornerstone of success and to seize strategic opportunities for growth and expansion.

He credits a lot of the brand’s success to the POS in his tech stack. However, many people scoff when they hear this somewhat controversial view, preferring to hear that the other, sexier elements of a restaurant’s tech stack are more critical.

In this episode of Restaurants Reinvented, Solomon Choi tells host Jen Kern about why he is such a champion for POS to connect all the customer data— and going one step further to do what he calls “weaponizing the data” to attract and keep loyal customers.

A marketer by background and study, Solomon is a natural when it comes to understanding and leaning into customer behavior rather than trying to get them to do something else that benefits you.

Poly Prep Country Day School was founded 163 years ago in 1854 in Downtown Brooklyn as The Polytechnic Institute. It was one of the first private boys' schools in the city of Brooklyn. The initial aim of the school was to offer an academic program similar to that of boarding schools of the time while striving to maintain a strong community feel among students and faculty alike.

After 45 years, the future of the Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute was re-evaluated in 1889 when the preparatory school and the collegiate division were finally separated. In 1891, the construction of a new building next door to the school's original building provided a home for the college which became known as the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. Both divisions still exist, although the collegiate division, after many changes of name, was eventually acquired by New York University (NYU) in 2008 and, as of 2014, is now known as NYU Tandon School of Engineering.[1]

After its initial separation from the collegiate division, the Polytechnic Preparatory Institute remained an all-boys collegiate preparatory program at 99 Livingston Street and, by the mid-1890s, had already become one of the largest prep schools in the country, with over 600 students. Show less
