Our take
In the restaurant industry, cost control is an essential aspect of maintaining a profit. By successfully managing the costs of food, labour, and overhead expenses, restaurants can optimise their margins and increase profitability. Many restaurants look to SaaS companies to provide them with specialised software solutions that save management valuable time and help them stay on top of the competitive restaurant industry.
Barcelona-based Haddock is helping restaurants improve their margins thanks to real-time cost control. Through the use of AI, Haddock is making it easy for customers to digitise documents as well as export data to make better decisions and optimise their business.
Haddock has witnessed steady growth since its inception in 2020 and is now home to over 1,000 customers. Accepted into the Y Combinator accelerator programme in 2021, the startup has since gone on to open new offices and make way for new employees for a promising future in restaurant software.
