🚨 Problem
Restaurant owners are one of the largest groups of small business owners in the world. These are incredibly hardworking individuals; many of them started as dishwashers, servers and cooks, and saved up for years to pursue their dream of being an owner one day.
But it is a challenging business, made even more complicated recently by the recent shift to a digital landscape. There is immense competition from 3rd party delivery tech companies who are stealing restaurants’ customers and charging exorbitant fees. Additionally, massive restaurant corporations are crushing independents using scale, advanced technology, and expansive marketing budgets.
