Attributes growth to its leadership in bringing AI solutions and automation to restaurants

ATLANTA, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Popmenu today announced it is featured on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500^™, a ranking of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 29^th year. Popmenu grew 1188% from 2019 to 2022.

Popmenu's CEO and Co-founder, Brendan Sweeney, credits the company's revenue performance to creating technology that addresses major challenges for restaurants and helps them to grow a profitable business. For years, Popmenu has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into its product suite, which includes everything from interactive menus and online ordering to digital marketing and AI phone answering. Most recently, Popmenu launched AI Marketing, which automatically creates a monthly marketing calendar for restaurants with AI-generated messaging and images for emails, texts, and social posts. The content is unique to each restaurant, reflects their brand voice, and is based on tens of millions of guest data points.

"Popmenu built our platform to make digital hospitality easier and more financially rewarding for restaurants—and make dining experiences better for their guests," said Sweeney. "AI tech is an important part of this equation as we help restaurants to automatically connect with guests in a more personalized way and gain much-needed efficiencies in the face of rising consumer demand and labor costs. Our investment in AI, partnerships with other industry leaders, and focus on customer success position us well for continued growth and profitability. We are excited to see Popmenu featured on Deloitte's list once again."

"Each year we look forward to reviewing the progress and innovations of our Technology Fast 500 winners. This year is especially celebratory as we expand the number of winners to better represent just how many companies are developing new ideas to progress our society and the world, especially during a slow economy," said Paul Silverglate, vice chair, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. "While software and services and life sciences continue to dominate the top 10, we are encouraged to see other categories making their mark. Congratulations to all the winners who show us how creativity, hard work and perseverance can lead to success."

"As for growing companies, it's always rewarding to be recognized for the ongoing commitment it takes to navigate obstacles, transform when necessary and ultimately create a thriving business," said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte's audit and assurance practice. "Over the nearly 30 years we've been compiling the Technology Fast 500, we've seen new categories emerge, growth rates explode, and certain regional markets shine from the bright talent they attract. We are proud of all the winners for achieving this well-deserved honor."
