Crush pepper,
not your soul.
We believe restaurant owners should spend more time on what they love: their food, their people, their craft. Restoke simplifies restaurant management so you can focus on the parts of your job you actually enjoy. 
Restaurants are the soul of every community, but too many are stuck in survival mode—buried under admin, labor challenges, and shrinking margins. Restoke gives them their time, clarity, and control back, transforming the back-of-house into an intelligent system that works as hard as they do.
Our mission
Bringing back the
heart of hospitality.
By connecting every moving part of a restaurant, Restoke creates the visibility, precision, and confidence needed to thrive—not just survive.
Our story
From the pass to the platform
Founded by former operators, Restoke started as a way to solve one restaurant’s chaos. Today, it’s a growing movement—trusted by thousands of venues and backed by Rampersand and leading investors. From Sydney to Austin, our goal remains the same: to build tools that make running a restaurant simpler, smarter, and more human.

Milestones that shaped us.
A look at the moments, decisions, and breakthroughs that shaped who we are today.
2019–2021
Restoke is born — built by restaurateurs, for restaurateurs.
Restoke started as a simple idea inside a busy kitchen: there had to be a better way to run a restaurant. Created by founders who lived the chaos firsthand, the early platform helped teams ditch spreadsheets and take back control of their operations.
2023
Launching globally with a new vision for restaurant intelligence.
Restoke introduced a smarter, more connected way for restaurants to manage daily work — turning data, tasks and operations into one clear, unified system. This marked its first step onto the global stage.
2024
$5.1M raised to scale and expand into the U.S.
Backed by Rampersand, EVP and Unpopular Ventures, Restoke secured funding to accelerate product growth, expand internationally and support thousands more venues aiming to run profitable, resilient businesses.
2025
AI-powered insights reshape how restaurants run.
Restoke enters its next chapter — with real-time AI that spots issues, prevents waste, and reveals opportunities to boost profit. It’s proactive intelligence built to help restaurants not just survive, but truly flourish.
The team behind Restoke
Real operators. Real experience.
We’re chefs, technologists, and hospitality lifers who’ve lived the chaos first-hand. Our team blends deep restaurant knowledge with cutting-edge AI design — because true innovation only happens when empathy meets intelligence.

Before I found Restoke things were a bit all over the place with my ordering. Some suppliers I texted, some I had to email and I couldn’t track anything. Now I have a lot more time and I’m a lot less stressed!

Rick Hill
‍Owner, The Cart Co

Restoke is a godsend for us in keeping things digital and moving paperwork out faster. Now, when we have a health inspection and I show them Restoke, they say, "Oh! That's awesome!"

Monique Gregory
Owner, The Bearded Dragon Hotel

Restoke has been a great help when it comes to food costing. Automated price updates keep our business in the loop and allow us to adjust our menu price accordingly. The inventory feature is easy to use and provides us with an accurate figure.

Aiven Lee
Head Chef, Yum Sing House

The main problems we had were communication and organisation, now that we're with Restoke they're a thing of the past. I was a bit hesitant at first, thinking it would take a lot of time and energy to set up, but it was surprisingly easy and quick.

Roy Sassonkin
Chef and Owner, Tahina

This application has enabled us to tidy up our daily operations significantly. It gives us preps and procedures for our staff to work through each day, detailed recipes and a very intuitive system for scanning invoices and updating food costs on the fly - just to name a few!

Jayden
Founder / Business Owner, Empire Chicken

I'm finding I can be home a bit more now, which was an issue before - I couldn't have a Thursday off. Now I can be sitting at home and log in to see if we have stock ready for the weekend.

Renée Cornelissen
Head Chef, Lady Vandeburg

I had been searching for a new program to price my recipes for my store and came across Restoke. I was very excited when I saw all the features that it comes with. This program is very helpful in my day to day productions.

Claudette Rahmer
CCs Chocolates

A simple, intuitive and fun, culture-building task management platform for Hospitality! Plus Recipe Costing and OCR scanning that works! The support has been excellent (5-10 min turnaround instead of days) as are the training videos.

Steven Aspros
Hospitality consultant/GM

Comprehensive and intuitive. These guys really thought about every aspect. Almost seamless transition from Aussie point of view to US. So far, I cannot praise Restoke enough for offering me the opportunity to save enormous amounts of time.

Deborah Bailey
Proprietor, First & Green

It takes me 30 seconds to do my costing with Restoke. Before, I would be trying to find out how much everything is, like a slice of tomato, and have to start from scratch.

Aleksandra Krol
State Operations Manager, JP Hospitality Group

Restoke allows me to have full control over the whole operation, helps me control my expenses with insane accuracy and have the business running exactly as I want it to. Very scary my friend.

Johnny Di Francesco
Owner & Managing Director, Gradi Group

Our food cost level on a P&L basis used to be around 38% and after implementing Restoke for a period of 3 months, it's dropped to 28%. That’s 10% on a $10m revenue! That’s crazy. That’s the amount of savings you're getting.
