Avero

The journey of Avero began out of a common frustration in the fast-paced world of hospitality. In 1997, Damian Mogavero, then the CFO of a New York City restaurant group, found himself grappling with a persistent challenge: the inability of his management team to answer fundamental questions about the restaurants' performance. He envisioned a more efficient way to harness the valuable data already being captured by point-of-sale systems, a method that would empower operators to make smarter, quicker, and more profitable decisions. This vision laid the groundwork for what would become a revolutionary tool for the industry. After years of development and refinement, Avero was officially born in 2002, stepping onto the scene with a clear and powerful mission: to innovate technology that provides hospitality operators with the critical answers they need to transform not just their businesses, but their lives.

From its early days, Avero quickly gained traction, attracting prestigious clients like Gramercy Tavern, a renowned NYC establishment owned by Danny Meyer with Tom Colicchio as its executive chef. This early adoption by industry leaders was a testament to the platform's potential. The company's growth was fueled by a genuine understanding of the challenges faced by restaurateurs, as it was built by hospitality operators for hospitality operators. In 2010, Avero introduced a flexible pricing model, allowing independent restaurants of all sizes to access its powerful insights by purchasing individual modules tailored to their specific needs. This strategic move significantly broadened its market reach. Today, Avero stands as a global leader, with offices in Dallas, Las Vegas, and its headquarters in New York City. Its solutions are trusted by over 43,000 professionals in 75 countries, a clear indication of its profound impact on the hospitality landscape. Through every stage of its evolution, Avero has remained steadfast in its commitment to getting operators out of the back office and back to their passion: creating exceptional guest experiences.
