Every day, 14 million Americans show up to work at a restaurant. That’s 10% of the U.S. workforce. Almost all restaurants have fewer than 50 employees, and most are independent, not part of a giant chain. The restaurateurs leading these businesses run on tight margins. They don’t have a big capital budget. They aren’t software nerds. And most of all, they don’t have much time to get a handle on everything – guests, staff, menu, marketing and finance – making it harder than it has to be to take their restaurant to the next level.

That’s why we created Upserve, the smart management assistant serving up clear guidance that makes your restaurant thrive. The magic ingredient.

Offering pointed and timely guidance, Upserve makes it easier to manage guests, staff, marketing, finances, and even the menu.

Running a restaurant isn’t going to get easier. But it will get smarter.
