We partnered with [cafeteria] to validate category expansion ideas. The Roller Rabbit brand tables delivered fast, directional insights that helped us pressure-test assumptions and move quickly.

The clarity we gained shaped both our in-store and social strategies—saving us time, tightening decisions, and avoiding costly missteps in product development and merch.

[cafeteria] helped us identify beauty packaging that users really want.

This saved us money in choosing the proper tooling, probably ~$100k. We got actionable insights from over 250 users in 2 weeks. This was real R&D validation for us.

“Um, Hannah Sophia Kim, she's like known for her eyelashes, and she does these special extension ones. And I've never used fake eyelashes, but she really is selling it for me because she makes videos of how easy it is in real time. And they look so good always at the end, so I'm excited to try them.”

“If I had $100, I’d hit up H&M for basics, then splurge on one statement piece from Urban Outfitters, and finish it off with some funky socks from Uniqlo. Gotta mix the essentials with something that pops!”

“Definitely going for Nike for some fresh kicks, then probably PacSun for a cool graphic tee, and I’d save the rest for a thrift store find—because you never know what gems you’ll get!”

“I discover new music mostly from TikTok. Yeah, TikTok definitely influences new music, especially the older songs, which is shocking. But like, older songs that my mom or my grandparents used to listen to will come back around on TikTok and it'll introduce me to the older music.”

“I’m grabbing a hoodie from Champion, some jeans from Levi’s, and then I’m heading straight to Zara for accessories. $100 goes fast, but you gotta make it count!”

“I love Lululemon because of how weightless and breathable it is. Alo is great, it's just very chic. I love the logo, I guess. And then third would be Nike just because of how... I don't know, it's just a sportswear brand, it's like classic.”

My first table made me realize what I like, how much I have of each brand and things I like that I never knew I did.
