Built by operators, for operators
Smooth Ops is the back office we wish we'd had, distilled from 14 years of running restaurants across California, Hawaii, and abroad.
Smooth Ops started in our own kitchens. Our co-founders pair a strong programming background and an MBA from the University of Southern California with more than a decade in the restaurant industry, together opening a dozen locations across California, Hawaii, and internationally.
Running multi-unit, multi-state, and international operations meant one thing became a survival skill: automate everything that doesn't need a human. We built systems to cost every plate, catch vendor price changes, reconcile cash, and keep every location on the same page, so the team could spend time on food and guests instead of spreadsheets.
Those systems are the best practices we've refined over 14 years. Smooth Ops packages them into one platform so any independent restaurant can run its back office like a big brand.
We built this to give back. Great operators shouldn't need an enterprise budget to know their numbers, so we made it affordable, simple, and genuinely useful. We hope it helps you keep more of what you earn.
