How Taziki’s Mediterranean Café and Square Grow Together With Restaurant365

November 25, 2025

Taziki’s Mediterranean Café has grown to 108 locations by holding tightly to one belief: hospitality still matters. But scaling that belief required clarity.


In this episode, we sit down with Dan Simpson, CEO of Taziki’s, and Jean Silva from Square to explore how the partnership between Taziki’s, Square, and Restaurant365 reshaped the company’s entire operational approach.


They break down how unified data unlocked visibility they never had before, why guest frequency at 3.5 visits became a breakthrough insight, how actual vs theoretical food cost exposed hidden waste, and why the future of restaurant tech depends on both simplicity and partnership.
