Founded in 2011 by Max Bailey and Myron Gomes, Spoonity expanded from an Ottawa-based startup into a multinational software provider, serving over 5,000 locations in more than 30 countries.[2] The platform processes tens of thousands of transactions daily and supports a user base of over 12 million consumers.[2] Following participation in the inaugural Google Cloud Accelerator Canada in 2021, the company integrated artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities for predictive customer analytics and automated marketing.[3]

The company's clients include QSR brands such as Carl's Jr., Krispy Kreme, Wingstop, Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, and Denny's.[2] Regional clients include Ten Ren's Tea in Canada, Café Martínez in Argentina, and Meet Fresh, a Taiwanese dessert chain with locations in California.

Funding

After a $30,000 grant from Coral CEA in 2011, and initial challenges with venture capital,[4] the company went on to receive funding from the MaRS Investment Accelerator Fund, The DMZ, and private angel investors totalling $825,000.[5]

Leadership

The company is led by co-founder and CEO Max Bailey, Chief Revenue Officer Jose Antonio Gomez Velez, and Chief Technology Officer Brandin Chiu. Jose Gomez, an Ecuadorian-Canadian engineer, previously worked at Nortel Networks and BlackBerry before joining Spoonity full-time in 2016.
