We look forward to seeing what MURTEC and the Hospitality Technology 2020 Restaurant Technology Study reveal to be priority for restaurant operators!

WHO IS SMARTBRIDGE?

Our origin story begins with food service.

Smartbridge’s experience has been built on our work in forward-thinking restaurants. In 2003, our Founder and CEO created Smartbridge after bringing a loved Texas restaurant brand into the modern IT era. Our boutique consultancy has since partnered with nearly two dozen multi-unit large restaurant brands – QSRs to full-service.

We partner with customers in their journey from IT vision to adoption, and across the plethora of technology options available today. Smartbridge’s comprehensive list of technology and software partnerships gives us the freedom to remain an objective collaborator with our customers. The suite of Smartbridge services includes systems modernization and integration, data & analytics, robotic process automation, AI/ML, and custom development.

An empathetic approach to understanding customer challenges is bred into the Smartbridge culture. It is evidenced by our ability to bring ideation to life for customers and ourselves. As thought leaders with a track record of successful project execution, Smartbridge is committed to fueling innovation, with KitchIntel being a prime example.

In 2019, KitchIntel quickly evolved from idea to proof-of-concept to active deployment. Our first KitchIntel client has vastly improved freshness, speediness and accountability of inventory at 130 locations (read that case study here). We’re excited to work side-by-side with them in 2020 to further evolve their configurations.
