Restaurant intelligence platform Yumpingo has raised $10 million in a Series A investment with London-based VC Smedvig Capital. The funding will be used to scale and further innovate Yumpingo’s one-minute instant review platform, launch Yumpingo Pay, a new pay-at-table platform, and expand the company’s sales and operations internationally.

Additionally, Keith Taylor, chief financial officer of Equinix, and Mike Ryan, CEO of Bullet Point Network, and previously partner and head of global equity products at Goldman Sachs, are investing in the round and will be joining the Yumpingo board. Also investing is David Cantu, co-founder of HotSchedules, one of the world’s largest SaaS data platforms in the restaurant industry.

Yumpingo collects data at the end of a meal when the check is presented via a one-minute survey on operator-branded hardware or through a diner’s smartphone. Data is distilled down into meaningful insights that provide management (at site, regional and corporate levels) with the visibility to make informed decisions about how best to optimize the guest experience at the menu item, service, site, menu or concept level.
