Our take
Driving down customer costs is big business anywhere, especially within the world of restaurants which already have razor-thin margins and built-in volatility. ResQ's service acts as “revenue recovery” for its customers by connecting maintenance contractors to restaurants and providing them with one spot to organize communication, pay bills and establish accountability, saving worker time and offering clearer visualization into how repairs will work.
ResQ's customers include 4,000 leading restaurants such as KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. According to the company, restaurants benefit from ResQ's platform by decreasing annual revenue costs by as much as 20%. In 2021, the company was valued at $25.81 billion.
The company is expecting to continue growing its team across engineering, sales and operation roles. ResQ is also earmarking money for launches in new markets.
