joining Deliveroo in its infancy and going on to help it become the tech giant it now is a company working to pioneer innovative payment solutions for restaurants CODE talked to Elisabeth about her passion for hospitality and then you combine that with origins from the south of France which is really the capital of deliciousness when it comes to food…  I wanted to have a restaurant when I was 16 But no one was an entrepreneur in my family – there was no emphasis around doing your own thing I decided to go to business school and then I moved to London it was not as good for a young intern to start when there was a major change happening in the economy I started in this kind of madness.   I quickly realised that I didn’t want to do banking but I like the idea of doing something that I like when I wake up in the morning This grew in me particularly when I was doing long hours on something I was not interested in I figured that I don’t mind the long hours if I’m actually passionate I’m not going to launch my own restaurant ‘I’m going to do the second-best thing.’ And the second-best thing for me was to work for restaurants.   I joined Deliveroo at a relatively early stage I did different roles and I was fortunate enough to always be on the restaurants team It was my first real introduction to the restaurant world I was dreaming of a job where I would be more involved in the hospitality part of things And I was lucky enough to be contacted by sunday.  I love the idea that you could change something as simple or as weird Because no one really goes to a restaurant to pay This the idea that you’re going to change payments through QR codes But I quickly realised the benefits that it has for restaurants – when you replace these 15 awkward moments when you’re waiting for the bill which means that – especially if you’re high traffic – you’re going to be able to serve more customers you’re very happy that the staff doesn’t have to run after payment terminals That’s also very much a benefit for the staff.   We have a team that comes from hospitality And we work very closely with the restaurants to explain how we can fit into the customer journey as opposed to just saying: ‘Here’s a QR code That’s why I think we are hospitality And it ends up with the staff entailing a lot more tips than they used to We allow restaurants tools to get more in touch with the customer We’ve launched a system where you can review and rate the restaurant internally for bouncing back and improvements what you can do with payments – when you don’t make it just for payments.  essentially defining the strategy for the markets how do we approach the hospitality industry – it’s a £60 billion industry You cannot just go after restaurants without any strategy You have to understand where you’re going what type of restaurant you can bring the most value to with the current product what kind of markets you can address.   I don’t think it’s only related to hospitality I am a mentor to a few people from business school who are young graduates and I always say the same thing: it’s really important that you build your self-confidence because there will always be imposter syndrome And number two: choose to work for people that you actually admire as opposed to making you doubt your own abilities Find people who challenge you in the right way and respect you because there’s only a given amount of hours in the day I’ve seen too much of these contexts We’re launching a new part of our business model which is going to be based on SAS – ‘software as a service’ you subscribe to extra services that are going to bring you much more than payment.   We know that right now restaurants have a lot of questions around how they can differentiate themselves versus another restaurant how do they keep their relationship with their customers especially when they haven’t been booked through a platform like SevenRooms especially if you pay in cash or at a payment terminal They will never be able to reach out to you and say we would love to offer you a free ramen because you’ve been here seven times now We’d love to reward you.’  we’ve always had a strong relationship with them They went from 200 tips a month per site to 1,000 because we’re co-building this with the restaurants And I think that’s where having this restaurateurs’ heart that is coming from our founder is pretty cool We’re thinking as restaurants as opposed to just as tech.  Become a member to take advantage of all the features Become a member to access over 400 hand-picked

cultural context the artist works through a multidisciplinary approach and with a focus on remix practices In this solo exhibition Marie Lelouche presents both new works conceived for the gallery space in Venice and works belonging to two preexisting series (Failed to Synchronize and Out of Spaces) respectively at Fabbrica Alta in Schio (Italy) in 2019 and at Les Tanneries - Centre d’art contemporain (Amilly These installations have a strong connection with the territory the architecture and the building in which they were conceived and created The artist readapts them to the space in order to weave a dialogue with the Venice gallery that houses them The space becomes dichotomous: at once real and virtual the abstract motifs that decorate the sculptures and carpet in Failed to Synchronize have a familiar yet ungraspable appearance; they evoke the impossibility of the memory to reconstruct the past as well as the fleetingness of layering memories A song created by the artist also accompanies the work and provide visitors with a multisensory experience play on the concepts of the French words espèce (species) and espaces (outdoor and indoor spaces) creatures capable of filling the places they inhabit through the sounds they emit and that serve as reminders for human beings of the passing of time whose practice deals with different forms of spatiality Marie Lelouche graduated from Ensba in Paris obtained a Master's degree in Visual Arts at La Sorbonne (Paris) and completed a program at Le Fresnoy with honours of the jury She is currently finishing a PhD/creation in post-digital sculpture at Le Fresnoy (Tourcoing France) in collaboration with UQAM (Montreal Her colorful and multi-faceted work - which tends to abstraction - has been shown in several solo exhibitions Spazio Thetis (Venice) or Centre d'Art Contemporain Les Tanneries (Amilly The artist’s next project is in collaboration with the Jeu de Paume in Paris; she will present an online creation

Team Jumbo-Visma is looking forward to tomorrow’s time trial with confidence after the second stage in Paris-Nice. The Dutch team brought their leader Primoz Roglic to the finish line in Amilly without any problems. The stage once again had a nervous and hectic outcome with the threat for echelons and several crashes. National Champion George Bennett crashed in the final of the stage, but was able to continue and reach the finish. Sports director Grischa Niermann looked back on the stage with mixed feelings. “It was a nervous stage and the last fifty kilometres were very dangerous at some points. There was also not enough wind to split the peloton apart. In the end, we survived the stage with Primoz well. So that’s good. George’s crash was a setback. We will have to see how he is doing.” Tomorrow is the first real test for the overall standings. The third stage is a time trial of a little over fourteen kilometres. Niermann looked forward to the race against the clock with confidence. “We know that Primoz can do a good time trial, but he is certainly not the top favourite for the stage victory.” Subscribe yourself for the Team Visma | Lease a Bike newsletter and receive previews for races, exclusive interviews, video's and promotions!

France in July 2007 Alberto Contador only returned to France for functions Paris-Nice marks his first race back on French territory "It's another symbol to me because I won it two years ago," the Spaniard explained at his hotel in Ferrières-en-Gâtinais "I was frustrated last year when I was not able to defend my title and I'm happy to be back This year, Contador has decided to not take part in any race for the purpose of training. Only if he's got a chance to win will he line up. "Paris-Nice is a very important race, it justifies the first part of the season," he commented. "Shall I win it again, it would for sure give me the confidence for the Tour de France. In any case I won't draw any conclusion and I'll avoid comparisons with 2007." After the Tour of the Basque country, Contador will decide whether or not he'll compete in the Flèche Wallone or Liège-Bastogne-Liège, or both.

By commissioning two new data centers, in Amilly in the Centre-Val de Loire region and in Val-de-Reuil in Normandy, where the first data center has been in operation since 2012, Orange is placing the energy efficiency of its infrastructures at the heart of its Net Zero Carbon goal by 2040. The two identical buildings will cover 16,000 sq. m., including 5,000 sq. m. of computer rooms. The three highly secured data centers will host Orange business and residential customer data and services, as well as our own in-house information system. For more than 10 months a year they operate without the use of air conditioning by using a free cooling system. The outside air and the design of the buildings provide natural cooling for IT equipment, thereby reducing their energy impact by 30% compared to older generation of Orange data centers. The PPAs   that Orange has entered into with Boralex, Engie and TotalEnergies cover the consumption of the three data centers with electricity from renewable sources. With a Power Usage Effectiveness estimated at 1.3, these data centers rank among the most efficient in France.
