You know that moment when you pull up to the drive-thru and already regret it? Episode 2 is for that exact feeling.

Justin Starbird sits down again with p!ng cofounders Jane Lo and Rob Whitten to talk through how the whole system actually works, without turning it into a science fair. They break down how the app and on-site sensors line you up in the right order, why the window handoff matters, and how the goal stays the same every time: your drink is ready when you arrive, not five minutes before.

They also get into the stuff New Englanders complain about loudly and correctly: lids that fail, spills in the backseat, and drinks that taste like they have been waiting longer than you have. Around here, we do not have time for a coffee adventure.

You will hear how p!ng is thinking about 24/7 access for night shift workers, why energy drinks belong on the menu, and how custom caffeine levels could become a real thing.

They also touch on the community round on Wefunder and why letting customers invest just makes sense.

Fast coffee. Clear choices. No nonsense.

Coffee lines are still a mess. This episode is about fixing them.

Justin Starbird sits down with p!ng cofounders Jane Lo and Rob Whitten to talk about why drive-thru coffee still feels stuck in the past, and why New England impatience might be the perfect fuel for a better system. Scratchy speaker, wrong order, cold cup. A New England classic. They share the origin story, their backgrounds, and what they learned from the pilot: people came back again and again, even without a loyalty program, and the loudest request was simple. More hours. More pods. Now.

As we all know, New Englanders do patience in small doses.

You will hear how p!ng plans to make coffee faster without turning it into a sad, lukewarm afterthought. Orders can sit for hours, but the drink does not get made until you are close, so it stays fresh. They also dig into the community round on Wefunder and why they want customers to become investors from day one.

Fast coffee. Bold ideas. Real talk. Wicked early.

The coffee is hot. The sun is barely up. Justin Starbird joins p!ng CoFounders Jane Lo and Rob Whitten to open the very first conversation of The Morning p!ng.

This episode introduces the story behind p!ng, a modern coffee experience built around speed, community, and bold ideas. The founders talk through early risks, long mornings, small wins, and the real work of building a startup people trust enough to visit every day. You will hear how coffee culture, robotics, and local connection all shape the brand they are creating from the ground up.

Expect honest founder stories, clear thinking, and a strong New England tone that values effort over noise. This is a podcast about momentum, routine, and showing up before the world gets busy.

Start your day with real conversation, a fresh perspective, and a reminder that big ideas often begin with a simple cup of coffee.
