About Raise the Bar

Raise the Bar is a hospitality-first data platform designed to help venues boost margins, cut waste, and make smarter decisions — without spreadsheets.

Why We Exist

If you’ve ever run a bar or restaurant, you know the grind: stocktakes that don’t match sales, invoices in different formats, and cost reports that arrive too late to act on.

Raise the Bar was built to fix that — combining real-time data from sales, stock, and suppliers to give hospo operators visibility and control. No fluff. No wasted effort.

What We Believe

  • Data should work for you — not the other way around.
  • Profit isn’t a dirty word — it keeps the doors open and teams thriving.
  • Transparency builds trust — in teams, with customers, and across the industry.

The Team

We're hospitality lifers, analysts, and designers who’ve built scalable systems behind the bar — and behind the scenes.

Where We’re Headed

We’re building smarter tools for venues to forecast, benchmark, and grow — without needing a finance team. Whether you’re running a single bar or a multi-site group, Raise the Bar is your co-pilot for profitability.
