Maintaining a fully-staffed restaurant, every day, is nearly impossible. Trying to do so creates havoc for management and staff, while compromising quality of service and food for patrons. Restaurant workers want more control of their schedules and the financial security that comes with it. We’re solving these massively painful problems through our real-time operations and logistics platform. Restaurant labor spend is close to $300B annually in an industry generating $800B in sales in the US alone. Our veteran leadership team combines decades of experience in hospitality (The French Laundry, Per Se, Morimoto) and technology (eBay, Lyft, Google, Apple, Yahoo!, Instacart), and we’re backed by a savvy team of advisors like Thomas Keller and investors who have created and funded some of the strongest brands across these industries. Mission: Our mission is to make restaurant life easier. Easier on the people who work in the industry and are underpaid and overworked. They have no flexibility in their schedules. Easier on the people who run small businesses and are stressed about hiring and staffing their operations every day. We want to fix the number one problem in the hospitality industry: staffing.
