Expo is AI for multi-unit restaurant operators. We connect every system you run into one source of truth, automate the reporting, and let you ask your data anything in plain English. The point of all of it is simple: make restaurant life easier.
Expo is an AI platform for multi-unit restaurant operators and location-based business owners. We consolidate POS, inventory, labor and guest feedback into one intelligent dashboard, and let non-technical owners chat with their data through tools like Claude and ChatGPT. No analyst, no Tableau, no IT team required.
Every system you run, connected automatically into one place. The manual exports and midnight spreadsheets stop.
Ask in plain English through Claude and ChatGPT and get a clear answer with a recommended next move.
Made for the people who run the restaurants, not a data team. We handle integration setup and ongoing upkeep.
Our mission is to make restaurant life easier.
Most operators run six to ten systems that don't talk to each other, and managers lose entire shifts to spreadsheets and data entry instead of guests and staff.
We build technology that augments your people, not replaces them. No matter how good the software gets, hospitality runs on people.
Robots can't nail the warm, genuine welcome that makes a place worth returning to. The right technology takes the busywork off your team's plate, the counting, the crunching, the scheduling, so they can pour their energy into the work they actually signed up for.
Let the tech do what tech does best, so your people can do what humans do best: connect with guests and make them feel like they belong.
Restaurant tech should be built by restaurant people.
Our team brings together restaurateurs and technology veterans with more than a hundred years of collective experience serving the hospitality industry.
Expo was founded by Will Pacio, a chef who cooked in some of the world's best kitchens, including Per Se and The French Laundry, before opening restaurants of his own. He started Expo to make restaurant life easier for the operators who live it every day.
It isn't the team's first time building for this industry. Their earlier restaurant work has been featured in CNBC, Bloomberg, Nation's Restaurant News and The New York Times.
