Our take
Restaurant management can be rather outdated, often relying on spreadsheets and physical receipts. Restaurant365 develops all-in-one management software solutions for the restaurant industry, encompassing accounting, analytics, staff, and inventory management within its toolkit.
Restaurant365’s customer base isn’t just restaurants though, it’s software attracts accounting firms that work with restaurants as well as small eateries and large franchises. It’s expansive customer base is reflected in the amount of funding that it has received since its founding in 2011, now making it a verified Unicorn.
Restaurant365’s most recent round of funding came in 2024, and its $175 million will be invested into further enhancing its product. The company's success is unprecedented, as most would bet that restaurant industries post-pandemic would struggle to get back on their feet. Restaurant365 defied expectations though, and actually turned out to be the company that COVID-hit restaurants relied on to keep their heads above water. This goes some way to explain the success of Restaurant365, which is a proven aid for the ailing dining industry.
