Founder & Head Chef at Growtality
Smit Joshi has 15 years of marketing experience, more than five of them spent doing marketing for restaurants. Along the way, Smit kept seeing commissions and a patchwork of tools eating into restaurant margins, while the guest relationship belonged to someone else. So Smit built Growtality to put all of a restaurant’s growth tech in one place, focused on two things: profitability and retention.
