Deep restaurant industry specialism

Restaurants are in our DNA

Black Box Intelligence was established by restaurateurs out of a significant need our founders experienced during their time in the field. For us, the restaurant industry is not just another “vertical to sell to”. It’s fundamental to who we are.

Restaurant DNA

We know you because we are you

Our company was built by restaurateurs 30 years ago. We very intentionally hire people who have worked in the industry. This means we have exceptional empathy for you and the challenges you face.
