The Show Business program for this Wednesday, February 19th, features an exclusive interview with Diego Barreto, CEO of iFood. Under Bruno Meyer's leadership, the edition promises an enriching chat about the technology market, innovation in the delivery sector, and iFood's strategic vision for the coming years.
If iFood disappears from Brazil overnight, the national GDP will be impacted by 0.55%, according to a survey carried out by FIPE. Almost R$3 billion converted into gross income per year for thousands of delivery men and women.
Barreto also reveals the reasons why the app hit 100 million requests in a single month a few months ago and when it will celebrate 200 million per month.“We will reach 200 million orders per month ahead of schedule”, says a CEO.
Barreto explains how the company went from being a technology company to being – and focusing, since before CHATGPT – aartificial intelligence hub, with internally developed AI models that identify, for example, which route is better to be taken by bicycle or motorcycle. iFood's AI models, developed by the company's professionals, make 2 billion predictions per month and anticipate operational needs in advance, for example, for events that are a national passion – football. On match days like Flamengo and Corinthians or Neymar playing for Santos, the platform knows that the number of delivery people decreases—because they themselves are watching the game—and therefore, the company anticipates communication with the delivery people, generally increasing their pay so they are available for deliveries on special days.
Show Business is one of the most traditional interview programs focused on the business and economic universe, bringing together major leaders to discuss relevant market topics. With a dynamic and informative approach, the program has established itself as a reference in Brazilian business journalism.
The program can be watched on TV Jovem Pan News, on the broadcaster's YouTube channel, on Panflix and on the main FAST Channels channels, including Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, TCL and Vidaa TV.
