Dataspoon's Story

Dataspoon began in 2017 with a simple vision - to help restaurants deliver the highest quality food to their customers by predicting demand and helping employees create a cook schedule. The platform has since expanded to encompass nearly every datasource of restaurant operations and continues to help owners and operators make the data their restaurant generates accessible. Today, Dataspoon strives to deliver the best value it can to owners, operators, their team members, and most importantly, their customers.
