Our Core Values
We Empower Teams
Knowledge is power. We provide insights that help restaurant teams take control of their costs and profits.
We Create Efficiency
Time is money, and we’re all about saving both by eliminating tedious, manual processes.
We Listen & Adapt
The restaurant industry is always evolving, and so are we. Our solutions are built based on real operator feedback.
We Keep It Real
No fluff, no gimmicks; just real, accurate data that restaurants can use to make better decisions.
We Celebrate Wins
Whether it’s cutting costs, reducing waste, or gaining more control, we love helping restaurants succeed.
Meet Our Co-Founders
Our founders have decades of experience developing and servicing restaurant inventory management systems. During this period, we became acutely aware of the difficulty restaurant operators faced in setting up and maintaining their inventory items, processing invoices, and creating recipes when using traditional restaurant inventory systems.
