The story
Odd Duck began in 2009 as a pioneering farm-to-table food trailer in Austin, TX, founded by brothers Bryce and Dylan Gilmore with a mission to serve only locally sourced ingredients. The concept gained national acclaim and helped catalyze Austin's local food scene. The operation eventually transitioned into a full-service brick-and-mortar restaurant, maintaining its commitment to local sourcing and innovative cuisine. The restaurant's embedded finance footprint is minimal, consistent with a single-location independent restaurant using off-the-shelf point-of-sale and payment infrastructure.
