For this episode of The VentureFizz Podcast, I interviewed Allison Page, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at SevenRooms in New York City.
SevenRooms is an all-in-one reservation, seating and guest management platform that is used by customers ranging from neighborhood restaurants to international hospitality groups.
The company raised a $8M Series A round of funding last December led by Comcast Ventures and they just announced an investment from Amazon’s Alexa Fund to introduce in-service, voice-enabled technology for the restaurant industry.
In this episode of our podcast, we cover:
- Allison’s background, including the lessons she learned having a side hustle while working in investment banking.
- How the founding team spent their time learning the hospitality industry to discover the pain points that SevenRooms would initially focus on.
- How the curiosity factor is helpful for people who are considering a career in product management.
- The trickle-down effect that has happened in terms of hiring across the company based on having a diverse leadership team.
- Plus, a lot more.
