About
Expo exists because independent restaurant owners deserve the same business insights that big chains have — without the big chain budget or the big chain software.
Anthony Carbonaro
Founder & CEO, Carbonaro Media LLC
I grew up around restaurants. I watched owners work 80-hour weeks, pour everything into their businesses, and still not know if they were making money until their accountant told them — weeks or months later.
The tools that existed were built for people who sit at desks. Dashboards, spreadsheets, reports you need a degree to understand. Not for someone who's on the line at 7pm, managing a rush, and trying to figure out if they can afford next week's food order.
I kept thinking: what if there was a way to just ask? What if you could text a number and say "how are we doing today?" and actually get an answer? Not a chart. Not a PDF. An actual answer in plain English — like asking your best employee, except this one sees everything.
That's Expo. It connects to your Square POS and your bank account, and then you just text it. From the kitchen, the floor, your kid's soccer game. Sales, staffing, deposits, invoices — any question, any time.
Every independent restaurant deserves a business partner. Now they have one.
Give every independent restaurant owner the same real-time business intelligence that billion-dollar chains have — through the simplest interface possible: a text message.
If you need a training manual to use our product, we failed. Expo works through text messages because that's what restaurant owners already know.
We build for the person on the floor — not the person at the desk. Every feature, every decision starts with: does this help the owner?
We tell you exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and what we can't do. No fine print, no gotchas.
One plan, one price, everything included, cancel anytime. We earn your business every single month.
