Mario Batali’s Lupa Restaurant joins the Schedulefly family

Let me start by saying every single time a business owner hands over their hard earned dollars in exchange for our software – I am just so proud. I am proud of what Tyler, Wil and I have accomplished so far and that business owners find that our software is worth paying for and makes […]

Use images to tell your story…

Last week I posted about dominating a niche, and showed this same candy bar picture. Not only do I like how Salazon focuses on a niche, but I love how they use images, not words, to draw you in. When I stood in front of a slew of choices of chocolate bars, this one caught […]

Scratch your own itch: Sam Rubin

Wes created the weekly schedule for a restaurant while in college in the 90’s, and thought the paper-based schedule his restaurant and most other restaurants used was inefficient and frustrating. The schedule was irrelevant within minutes of being posted! He became an IT consultant after graduating, and in his spare time he built an easy […]

Recently I was at the store and decided to buy a dark chocolate bar. As looked at the options, this bar caught my attention immediately.

That there’s an RV. It’s a good looking vehicle, ain’t it?

Wil and I are kicking around an idea for next spring or summer – a whirlwind trip to visit some really awesome customers on the east coast – likely just places north of NC where we live – but who knows. Every week (every day really) we are growing the Schedulefly family by welcoming amazing […]

Bouldin Cafe from Austin, TX is a cool new family member…

It is incredibly fun to check out the web sites of new customers. I’ll admit I occasionally get caught up sitting at my desk listening to Pandora and clicking on tons of web pages. But heck, it’s a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon! You get to see the personality of each restaurant. What […]
