“We’re thrilled to welcome Darcy, Jessi and Dan to the BentoBox team,” said Krystle Mobayeni, CEO and co-founder of BentoBox. “In addition to the wealth of experience they bring to their roles, even more important is the passion they bring for restaurants. The landscape in hospitality is dramatically different from a year ago, and we’re committed to making sure every restaurant has the necessary tools to thrive. Expanding our leadership is the first step.”

BentoBox enables restaurants with online tools that drive direct, high-margin revenue through their websites, bypassing third-party services that come between them and their guests.
