Digitizing the Foodservice Industry

Our journey began as a food distributor, giving us a front-row seat to the industry’s challenges. This firsthand experience fueled our passion to develop a platform that tackled these issues, not just for ourselves but for the entire foodservice ecosystem – restaurants and suppliers alike.

In 2015, we launched an AI-enabled platform to bridge the digital gap in the foodservice industry. Our innovative solution streamlined the food ordering process, making it easier for everyone in the ecosystem to deliver the right food efficiently and profitably. Today, we’ve fully transitioned into a technology company, dedicating all our efforts to building solutions for a smoother and more sustainable foodservice experience.

We’re a passionate team of foodservice veterans and tech innovators driven by a clear vision: optimizing the farm-to-table journey through technology. We believe in empowering all stakeholders—from farmers to distributors and restaurants—with the tools they need to predict demand, optimize production, and deliver food efficiently.
