“Can a restaurant-operator-built ops platform packaged as an accountability cohort drive independent restaurants to 18%+ profit margins?”
Munch Insights (operated by Munch Pass LLC) is a NY-based restaurant operations SaaS built by restaurant owners who lost $40k running Little Mo. The team spent 3+ years refining tools for inventory, labor scheduling, sales, and accounting automation, then packaged it as an invite-only quarterly cohort of 50 restaurants at $500/month/location. The product is squarely SaaS — no evidence of embedded finance rails (no lending, banking, payments, or card issuing).
Munch Insights was founded by Daohao Li (CEO & Co-Founder) and Joseph Chen (CTO & Co-Founder) and is headquartered in New York, NY (Uniondale, NY office).
