Strengths
says, "Outstanding leadership team with a clear vision for the product offering and how they intend to disrupt the industry. I really like the business model, and strategic approach to bringing kitchens into the 21s century. It’s long overdue, and this company is positioned well to make it happen!"
says, "As someone who has managed kitchens - I could immediately see the value it brings. In an industry moving slowly on tech, they are overdue to simplify processes and reduce costs - this looks like it can help achieve both."
Advice
says, "I’d love to see a more clear sales strategy. Having strategic investors is great, but having a more clear path to acquiring clients is critical. Best of luck with the business!"
says, "2 words - sales strategy. The main goal for this was to help with scaling restaurants - while the strategic partners are nice, their restaurants are already scaled. I would love to see how you can get into the restaurants that want to scale but need the help to do that. You nail that, and you become the go to force for growing restaurants."
