Whwn it was first oppened few years back, I saw they sell rows and rows of instant noodles from various countries like Thailand, Korea, Japan etc, I thought that was not so good idea and predicted it won't last long Poor marketing concepts I would say.

they were trying to do a IKEA, but failed....

they were trying to automate the whole buying experience, from ordering online and pick up the goods in the warehouse, something like drive thru macdonalds

they were trying to reduce food wastage, like predicting the end of shelf life of food by knowing when they were shipped in, stored for how long, when need to discharge...

all good ideas, but i felt they try to do many things at the same time, at a cheap price. one key factor of the downfall is, they were not ready, they underestimated the effort to achieve the results they visioned...
