RTN Launches Evergreen Virtual Start-Up Alley

RTN recently launched its Virtual Start-Up Alley, where some of the restaurant industry’s most innovative start-ups are featured on an evergreen section of the community’s website. RTN offers restaurant tech start-ups a place to shine, both by being featured on the Virtual Start-Up Alley directory and in-person at RTN’s annual Start-Up Alley at MURTEC (Multi-Unit Restaurant Technology Conference) in Las Vegas. In addition, the site features white-glove introductions for anyone looking to meet the start-up companies. RTN also hosts supplier-to-supplier networking events, whereby more established legacy companies can get
to know the industry’s start-ups, discover complementary solutions and unique ways to partner.

At the time of launch, RTN’s Virtual Start-Up Alley had 12 start-ups on the site (more to come!), including:
