Sam Parr ran a bakery in Victoria, BC for five to six years with 40-50 staff, learning that a physical food business is fragile in ways internet businesses aren't. One sick baker could break the whole operation.

One of the hardest businesses I own, a bakery in Victoria, BC, where I live, and I bought it because my brother had grown up working there. It was a neighborhood place. The owner wanted to sell, and I've owned it for about 5 or 6 years. You have to have about 40 or 50 employees. Someone has to wake up at 2 in the morning and go into the basement of the bakery and bake croissants. And the amount of coordination that has to go right where if a couple people are sick, how messed up the business can be is just night and day compared to any internet business.
