RezGuru provides data-driven business intelligence and recommendation engine to restaurants owners, allowing them to make informed decisions to help maximize their revenue potential.

PROBLEM:
Restaurants are highly fragmented, unorganized, and inefficient businesses. Their biggest problem is under-utilization of their capacity and food wastage. Most restaurants run at an average 40%-50% of their capacity and have food wastage of over 20% due to lack of forecasting and menu engineering tools. As a result, globally over 30% of restaurant fail within the first year of operation and this number rises to 60% by the third year.

Restaurants have perishable inventory, if they don’t sell a table or food it’s a lost opportunity for them. However, unlike airlines and hotels, restaurants don’t use revenue management and predictive analysis to optimize their capacity utilization and maximize their revenue potential.

SOLUTION:
RezGuru is the world’s first revenue management software for restaurants with predictive analysis and automated dynamic pricing. It allows restaurants to optimize capacity utilization, optimize staffing, reduce food wastage, and maximize revenue potential by up to 18%.

Similar to airlines and hotels, restaurants can now offer differential pricing to customers based on multiple parameters; helping restaurants optimize their capacity utilization and maximize their revenue potential.

The cloud based application also provides restaurants with real-time analytics and business intelligence, allowing them to make informed strategic decisions on pricing, staffing, and inventory to help them reduce food wastage and maximize their revenue potential.

How do you know the startup/founder
At Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, we were looking for technology solutions for increasing revenue and margins at our restaurants and we came across Rezguru.

Would you recommend this startup to Parallel18?
As the Regional Director of Marketing, Asia Pacific at Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, I come across lots of startups pitching new solutions for our restaurants. However, most of them end up being another GroupOn type deal website or Loyalty programs. Seldom we see start-ups like Rezguru using big-data and statistical analysis to give us pricing and marketing recommendations.

I believe they are addressing a big pain-point for us hoteliers who have lots of data and tools for our hotel rooms, but lack the same data for our restaurants. By providing us the same level of data for restaurants Rezguru is filing a big gap.
