Founder & CEO 29 Years Leading Restaurant Operations

After nearly three decades leading restaurant teams, I experienced firsthand the challenges of inconsistent documentation, outdated processes, and tools that simply were not built for restaurants. C25 was created to solve those problems with practical technology designed by someone who has lived them.

"I built C25 after spending nearly three decades managing restaurants."

C25 by the Numbers

Before C25 became software, it was built from real restaurant leadership, coaching, sales pressure, documentation, and daily team conversations.
