CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Squadle, a workflow automation company that enables multi-unit operators to simplify complex operations and streamline food safety, today announced that it closed out 2020 with a 400% increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR). At the same time, Squadle announced the appointment of franchising veteran Matthew Patinkin to its board of directors.
In 2020, Squadle crossed a number of significant milestones, helping food service brands efficiently complete one billion tasks, saving over 900,000 managerial hours. Despite the impact of Covid-19 on the foodservice industry, Squadle expanded its customer base, providing food safety and automation solutions that proved essential to their business during the pandemic.
The Squadle platform continued to support QSR brands focused on delivering a safe and enjoyable dining experience for their guests. Grocery stores, labeled an essential industry in 2020, are also starting to adopt digital workflows within their operations--relying on Squadle as their workflow automation engine.
Squadle’s workflow automation platform includes digital food safety, shift management, and remote temperature monitoring offerings that help brands to automate and record workflow tasks, removing pen and paper from their back-of-house operations.
“With a firm foothold in the pandemic-resistant QSR industry, convenient stores, and grocery industry, Squadle experienced a highly successful 2020. We saw many new brands come online last year, and as a result, we experienced a tremendous financial performance,” said Charlie Piper, CEO and President, Squadle, Inc. “As we look forward to 2021, Squadle is well-positioned to meet the growing technology demands across the food service industry.”
