RestTech Investments

The $3 trillion global restaurant industry is massively relevant and vital to all economies. In the U.S. alone, over 1 million restaurants will generate more than $863 billion in sales and employ 14+ million employees in 2019. Restaurants are on the hunt for fresh ideas and new channels to improve sales and maintain margins. They must discover new sales channels and leverage new technologies.

But this is only part of the story. The broader foodservice industry employs more than 20 million and combined, has a total economic impact of $1.9 trillion. That's 5% of the U.S. GDP! Foodservice has a huge impact on our daily loves and is being re-invented right before our eyes.

Even more impressive is the transformative effects restaurant tech is having on the industry globally, both B2C and B2B. Investors have sunk over $20 billion in restaurant technology startups in the last 10 years and ecosystem of cloud solutions can be confusing.
