Where we come from. What we're made of. Why we do it.
Hey there, here’s what INDYpendent Bytes is all about.
Most people selling “food tech” have never been crushed on a Friday night or watched COGS creep past 30%. At INDYpendent Bytes, that lived experience is the starting point.
- 16+ years as a chef and kitchen manager, focused on protecting margins and optimizing P&L without sacrificing quality.
- Founder of a procurement and sustainability platform connecting restaurants, farms, hubs, and suppliers.
- Awarded "Influential Woman of 2026" by the Influential Women organization for work in independent restaurant advocacy and local food systems.
INDYpendent Bytes helps independent operators save on food costs while using dynamic weekly sourcing to close the gaps between farm-fresh quality and predictable kitchen margins via our premier seasonal food cost volatility stabilization engine, the Root Cellar Reserve.
If you’re tired of guessing where the money is going and want a clearer, more resilient supply chain, this is built for you. Ready to explore what smarter sourcing could look like for your restaurant? Let’s talk.
