The company received funding from angel investment syndicate Equity Gap, private US and Channel Islands investors and the Scottish Investment Bank, the investment arm of Scottish Enterprise, will enable Spoonfed to penetrate international markets and accelerate growth.
Willie Biggart, managing director of Spoonfed, said: “This software could really transform the catering industry, which is currently using traditional processes that are clumsy and often lead to errors and missed opportunities.
“We’re excited about growing this business because we’ve seen amazing results from customers who have implemented the software into the everyday running of their company and have had very positive feedback about the efficiencies and growth it has brought.
“We’ve taken our time and made sure we have got this right so any business with an interest in corporate catering can easily use the software, giving them more time to focus on what they do best and leaving the organisation to Spoonfed.”
Spoonfed is a cloud-based system for single and multi-site catering management used for online ordering, production planning, route planning, invoicing, email marketing and bringing together these logistics in one integrated solution.
Spoonfed launched in 2013 when founders Willie Biggart and Murray McNicol, previous owners of a ‘meeting room food’ catering business, sought a solution to an industry trend of administrative disorganisation and avoidable mistakes.
