haddock
At haddock we’re building the first Point of Control (POC) SaaS for restaurants in Europe, the central place where restaurateurs run their entire business.
Last month we launched the world’s first AI Agent for restaurants, and it’s already reshaping how operators work day to day.
We are the market leader in Spain, and our vision is to expand across Europe and define the future of restaurant operations.
Over the last 12 months we’ve doubled ARPU, significantly reduced churn, increased NDR, and we’re now ready to operate at a much bigger scale. Finance will be a key engine to get us there.
