About us
The numbers control of chains,
at the service of independent restaurants
My name is Marcello Barbieri and I started as a waiter during high school and university. After graduating in Economics at Università Cattolica and Lancaster University (UK), I worked at Marriott and then at Flower Burger, where I started as an intern and became franchise development manager for a chain with over 20 restaurants.
At the beginning I handled food cost calculations myself. I built an Excel file from scratch to compute the cost of every dish. That experience taught me that a restaurant's margins are won or lost by a few cents per dish.
With Menu Genius I want to bring the same strategies chains use into independent restaurants: simple tools to improve margins and make better decisions.
