How it began.

The rise of the creator economy has transformed how consumers discover restaurants and how small businesses market themselves. Yet, despite U.S. restaurants spending over $40B/year on marketing, most still lack tools to understand whether that spend is working—especially when it comes to influencer marketing.

While several platforms exist in the social commerce and restaurant discovery spaces, very few connect influencer content to real-world sales—and only Troodie combines social discovery, creator monetization, and sales-based attribution for restaurants.
