Goop Kitchens Leverages AI to Enhance Sustainability
LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Goop Kitchen, part of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Los Angeles-based wellness brand Goop, unveiled the results of its recent integration of back-of-house AI technology to enhance operational efficiency. Through the implementation of ClearCOGS demand forecasting software, Goop Kitchen successfully reduced its food costs (COGS) and profit margin by over 2%. By leveraging AI-powered systems, the brand optimized its back-of-house operations, enabling precise forecasting, improved inventory management, and enhanced ingredient sourcing.
In addition to the financial benefits, Goop Kitchen’s commitment to sustainability has been further strengthened by the implementation of AI. By optimizing ingredient sourcing, reducing waste, and implementing environmentally friendly packaging solutions, Goop Kitchen continues to prioritize its role as a responsible and eco-conscious brand.
“Our team at Goop Kitchen is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with. We recognize with new technologies that there are always ways to improve operations to gain a competitive advantage. We run a pretty tight operation, so we were skeptical about the value this would add. Needless to say, we were shocked that literally overnight we were able to add 2% to the bottom line with no operational changes using ClearCOGS software,” said Goop Kitchen chef de cuisine Matt Givens.
Goop Kitchen’s Senior Director of Operations Douglas Henriquez added, “By leveraging AI technology, we have not only achieved significant cost savings but also made substantial progress in our sustainability goals. This milestone reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences while minimizing our environmental footprint.“
The successful integration of AI technology into Goop Kitchen’s operations demonstrates the brand’s commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation in the food industry. Through strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technology, Goop Kitchen continues to raise the bar for culinary excellence and operational efficiency.

Rachael Sage Releases Electrifying Video ‘The Other Side’
Title Track Video From Forthcoming Album Out This Summer
NEW YORK, June 16, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Alt-folk-pop singer-songwriter Rachael Sage has released the title track video “The Other Side” from her forthcoming album (out July 21, 2023, on MPress Records). Rachael, an award-winning singer-songwriter and self-described “cancer thriver”, is the human embodiment of an exclamation mark, and “The Other Side” video exemplifies her vibrancy in color and song. Shot at Gymnopedie in Brooklyn, the video’s rich hues jump off the screen as the irrepressible Sage moves between industrial urban spaces and Patricia Field-esque, fantastical gardens. The video (featuring Kevin J.Killen on drums and electric guitar and directed by Mike Flanagan) premiered in Vents and Wonderland.
Watch “The Other Side” video HERE.
June is both Pride and Uterine Cancer Awareness Month, and Sage is both mindful and celebratory when she discusses the video, saying, “When I sat down to brainstorm this video, I had three main goals: to create something so uplifting the viewer couldn’t help but feel encouraged – along with wanting to convey how remaining hopeful even under the most challenging circumstances can effectively bend time. Any excuse to light up a raw space in Brooklyn with neon, wear sequins and jam with a good friend is a great day, and I hope it makes people smile and feel inspired to embrace this precious, colorful life!”
The track, which features Jack Petruzzelli (Patti Smith) on guitar and Russ Johnson (Elvis Costello) on trumpet, demonstrates Sage’s timeless songwriting and reminds us that what’s most important – in relationships, dreams or our quest for freedom in whatever form – is always worth waiting for. Co-produced by Rachael with Grammy® winner Andy Zulla and longtime engineer Mikhail Pivovarov, “The Other Side” is resplendent with an uplifting horn section, soulful organ, spirited Elton-esque piano, and rapid-fire poeticism. Steeped in hope with just the right amount of best-is-yet-to-come optimism, the song is as instantly hummable as it is lyrically poignant.
“The Other Side” and Sage’s lead single, “Whistle Blow” are available on all streaming platforms.
Please see rachaelsage.com for ongoing tour dates.
About Rachael Sage:
Rachael Sage has steadily released a slew of vibrant, dynamic albums since emerging on the NYC scene over two decades ago. She has toured with Ani DiFranco, Beth Hart, Imelda May, Howard Jones, and Grammy® winners Marc Cohn, Shawn Colvin, and Judy Collins. In addition to being a six-time Independent Music Award-winning musician and producer, Sage is also a John Lennon Contest Grand Prize winner who has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, SXSW, and toured globally from Japan to Berlin. She is also a philanthropic advocate who has raised money for a wide range of causes, including the American Refugee Committee, National Network For Youth, and National Foundation For Women’s Cancer. Her 2020 album Character yielded the Billboard-charting single “Blue Sky Days”; her forthcoming album The Other Side is due out July 21 on MPress/ILS/Virgin, and is available for pre-order now.

Weekly Wisdom with Jeff Schreve
LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Pray.com, the No. 1 app for daily prayer and faith-based content, launched ‘Weekly Wisdom with Jeff Schreve‘ in collaboration with iHeartPodcasts. An audio devotional voiced by Pastor Jeff Schreve, ‘Weekly Wisdom’ breaks down sections of the Bible, extracting applicable themes and truths that encourage, grow, and enrich believers’ walks with the Lord. Each episode runs less than 10 minutes, making it easy to listen on-the-go.
“We believe ‘Weekly Wisdom’ will encourage and uplift listeners, amplifying the simple truth of the Gospel,” said Max Bard, Pray.com VP of Content. “We hope the messages will soften and change the hearts of those who have been conditioned to view the Bible as a rule book, rather than living, breathing scripture. We trust the podcast will make the Word a tangible tool for living a godly life.”
Jeff Schreve is lead pastor at First Baptist Church Texarkana, where he has been serving since 2003. He is founder of From His Heart Ministries, a national non-profit started in 2004. He leads the organization’s outreach through evangelical and teaching media. He and his wife Debbie have a growing family of three daughters and four grandkids. Called to preach after a career in sales, Schreve graduated with a Doctor of Ministry from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2014. He is a passionate speaker with great humor, personality and strong enthusiasm about spreading the Gospel.
“It is a great privilege to partner with Pray.com in the ‘Weekly Wisdom Podcast’,” Schreve said. “These short devotionals are designed to help people grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s only Son and man’s only Savior. My hope is that listeners would be challenged and encouraged to walk by faith and truly become doers of the Word.”
Pray.com founder Steve Gatena adds: “We are honored to partner with Jeff as he voices ‘Weekly Wisdom.’ The core of all we do at Pray.com is emphasizing messages of redemption and grace, and we are confident this podcast will positively reinforce these themes.”
In addition to ‘Weekly Wisdom,’ Pray.com hosts podcasts from leading pastors and speakers, meditative and reflective prayers and Bible-based resources to aid listeners in their spiritual journeys. Pray.com podcasts are distributed by iHeartPodcasts.

Sarah Tromley Introduces the World to ‘Rexford’ and Her New Track ‘One Horse Town’
Born of heart and soul, Sarah ushers in a new image and new music to match with the arrival of her anticipated single. Exploring the ins and outs of life, Rexford narrates her exciting journey within an intimate lens of connectedness and bare emotion.
LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Today, Sarah Tomley lets the world know that ‘things are different now’ as she dives headfirst into the complexities of real life, the burdens of love and the joy of metamorphosis. Introducing fans to her elevated persona, “Rexford”. The emergence of Rexford marks a moment in Sarah’s career where she is pulling from deep within. Writing from a space of truth and raw power in order to share the fullness of her entire world with fans.
Marrying the essence of then and the spirit of now, Rexford isn’t running away from the moments that shaped her but embracing the scars that made her. Rising from the bricks and rubble of broken structures to being present in this current state of “home”. Rexford is a symbolic representation of the place that allowed her to grow.
In this artistic rebirth emerges “One Horse Town”, which is her newest release out on all platforms today. Co-written and produced by “Twin Shadow”, the track is about releasing the things that you’ve outgrown yet empathetically understanding the purpose it had in your journey.
Rexford’s work will encompass an ethereal display of imperfect beauty as it swells with waves of realness and relatability. The music is a dialogue of risk-takers having a human experience in a world that values “stuff” over “soul”.
“I think this new journey is really a polaroid of feelings rather than an image of glamour. The evolution of this awakened version has helped me to heal my inner child and get back to the core of me,” as Sarah reflects on “Rexford”.
“Rexford” breathes new life into Sarah’s artistry. An inalienable piece of what has always been there just hidden under the dust of this world’s expectations. This exciting chapter will drag you out of the middle of that “one-horse town” of shackled uncertainty and into a universe of cathartic release.
