Our mission is to make restaurant life easier.
Sure, almost every restaurant owner (95%!) knows tech makes things run smoother, but most places are drowning in a tech mess—juggling between 6-10 different apps and systems that don't talk to each other. That means your managers are burning 20+ hours a week on spreadsheets and data entry instead of taking care of customers or coaching staff.
The numbers don't lie: restaurants that get their tech act together see costs drop by 30%, staff getting 25% more done, and customers walking out 17% happier. With labor getting more expensive and diners expecting more, streamlining your tech isn't just about looking cool—it's about putting more money in your pocket and keeping your doors open while others are closing theirs.
In today's competitive restaurant landscape, AI and Automation isn't just an option—it's essential for survival.
We believe in technology that augments your people, not replaces them.
No matter how advanced our gadgets get, restaurants will always need actual humans at their core because robots just can't nail that warm, genuine hospitality vibe.
The right technology takes the boring stuff off your staff's plate so they can pour their energy into what they actually signed up for. When your systems handle the headaches—counting inventory, crunching numbers, juggling schedules—your people get to focus on creating those magic moments that make dining special.
Let the tech do what tech does best, so your people can do what humans do best—connecting with guests and making them feel like they belong.
Restaurant tech should be built by restaurant people.
Our team is comprised of restauranteurs and technology veterans with 100 years of collective experience serving the hospitality industry.
Expo was co-founded by Will Pacio and Dave Lu. Will worked in some of the world's best restaurants, like per se and The French Laundry before starting his own restaurants. They both seized the opportunity to make restaurant life easier.
The Expo team has been responsible for building restaurant solutions that have been featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, Nation's Restaurant News, and the New York Times.
