Blizzfull
Blizzfull is a Glendale, California restaurant technology company that bundles online ordering, POS, self-service kiosks, kitchen screens, branded websites and apps, marketing, and loyalty into one AI-powered platform. Founded in 2012 by web developers Adam Dougherty and Zach Zurn, it charges restaurants a flat monthly fee and takes 0% commission on direct orders, positioning itself against third-party delivery apps that take up to 30%. Blizzfull's pitch is that independent restaurants should own their customers, their data, and their revenue, and it says it powers more than 1,000 restaurants nationwide.
Revi
Revi is a San Francisco software company building an AI-powered point-of-sale and revenue-growth platform for restaurants. Its kiosks, branded mobile app, and 'Revi OS' command center let operators take orders, run loyalty programs, and turn first-party customer data into automated marketing campaigns - without paying third-party commissions. The pitch: own your customers, lift average ticket size, and grow revenue. More than 5,000 merchants use Revi, which has raised about $24.6M to date, including a $14.5M Series A led by Runa Capital in 2024.
