Cyndi Duran
Founder & CEO
I have deep roots in South Florida, where I grew up and spent my career in service industries, particularly restaurants. This experience has given me a firsthand understanding of the challenges restaurateurs face today. Personally, I've often struggled to find places that match my mood for the night — Google and Yelp just don't seem to cut it.
My goal is clear: to create two platforms. The first will provide consumers with up-to-date insights on trendy bars, restaurants, and nightclubs in their area. The second will offer analytics to restaurant owners, helping them better understand their market and cater to customer preferences effectively. With our cutting-edge technology, we aim to empower restaurateurs to step back into the market with confidence.
