Let’s Get Tunned Celebrates First Anniversary
Let’s Get Tuned Sound & Yoga Studio, a health-conscious business centered around wellness and building community, celebrated their one-year anniversary since opening at 781 Market Ave in Morro Bay.
“Our first year has been very heart-warming as we have felt an overwhelming amount of support from the community,” co-owner Jon Nowaczyk told Estero Bay News. “It is really special to know we are having a positive impact not only on local residents but also on visitors traveling through searching for health and wellness.”
A celebratory gathering was held that included delicious bites made by a local chef, mocktails from Gaia’s Garden and SLO Creek Farms as well as raffle prizes from local businesses. The party also included a game to encourage everyone to get to know each other and, of course, the night ended with a little yoga and a sound bath. For readers who never had a sound bath before, it’s an easy way to relax and de-stress and Let’s Get Tuned offers them daily.
As for the next year, owners Jon and Natalie Teichmann look forward to expanding on what they already offer.
“We are passionate about continuing to expand our offerings for people of all ages and abilities as we continue to grow,” Jon said. “We also look forward to continuing to partner with other businesses and community members for events and special classes.

The ideal candidate is an inclusive, collaborative, innovative, results-oriented, adaptable, knowledgeable, and human-centered leader.

Starship Robots Coming to Cal Poly Campus Dining
On-campus food delivery is back at Cal Poly thanks to a small armada of food-delivering robots.
Starting this academic year Cal Poly Campus Dining will deploy almost 40 wheeled robots that will quickly and conveniently deliver food, drinks and snacks to hungry students, faculty and staff.
“They are fast, convenient, useful and fun to see cruising around campus,” said Russell Monteath, director of Commercial Services for Cal Poly Partners. “And that’s not mentioning how they’ll cut down on lines at the venues.”
Campus Dining is partnering with Grubhub and Starship Technologies to bring the service to Cal Poly. The six-wheeled carriers are under 30-inches long, 2-feet wide and tall (without flag), and can hold up to 22-pounds of cargo in compartments separating hot and cold food. The lid is locked during transport and only opens on arrival when prompted by the customer.
Each robot has 12 cameras, radar and GPS, reflectors and stereo cameras. The unit can see objects 200 feet away and make corrections to avoid things when necessary. It reduces speed when near an object not in front of it, and it makes a full stop when an object is in front.
Students, faculty and staff will be able to place orders on the Grubhub App and select delivery. The food delivery robot will meet customers at set delivery locations. A real-time interactive map will help to track their robot’s journey. Once the robot arrives, students receive an alert and can unlock their delivery robot through the app.
Students can pay for the food with their dining dollars, credit or debit cards. The delivery service will cost an additional $3.50 that cannot be paid with dining dollars.
Campus Dining will be able to deliver the same menus and market items across campus.
“Nowhere is time more regimented than on a university,” said Chris Neider, vice president of Business Development at Starship Technologies. “You’re moving between classes, you can place an order right before you’re out, and the robot can meet you at the quad, in the next building, or at your dorm.”
Starship Technologies, the world’s leading provider of autonomous delivery services, currently reaches 1.3 million students, with dining options from 900 merchants for its on-demand autonomous delivery at U.S. campuses. Globally, Starship has completed nearly 7 million deliveries.
