Local business owners are heroes to us.

Local business owners are heroes to us.

They risk everything – years of their lives, their families, their savings – to pursue their dreams.

They’re the heart of our economy, creating the majority of new jobs. They remind us that it’s possible to rise from being an entry-level worker to becoming a business owner one day, as 70% of restaurant owners do.

But local business owners are on a path to extinction.

Just 20 years ago, 60% of restaurants were owned by independent mom and pops. Today, that number is 40%, and dropping. Big chains keep taking over. Mom-and-pops keep shutting down.

A technological revolution is going on.

A technological revolution is going on.

Local restaurants are being destroyed by large corporations. Tech companies like Grubhub charge predatory fees and take away all of their customer relationships. They don't even share customers’ names, let alone contact details.

Plus, massive corporations like Domino’s Pizza are spending billions on marketing and technology — aiming to replace their small local counterparts.

But Owner is changing the odds.

Owner is a proven system for independent restaurants to drive sales profitably — to grow independently, in spite of the Goliaths.

How it started

Adam Guild was inspired to start Owner after an experience he had in saving his mom’s business.

Adam's mom was struggling because she didn’t have the right tools to grow her dog grooming business. She asked him for help, and he built the first version of Owner for her business.

Finally, she had the right technology to grow.

She transformed from a stressed single mom to a proud, self-made success.

Owner scaled after Adam partnered with Dean Bloembergen, the best technology leader he knew – who had experience building technology for large restaurant corporations like Blaze Pizza and Sharky’s. Dean’s parents are also small business owners, so he deeply loves helping people like them.
