OPA! is building the commission-free infrastructure that the restaurant industry should have had from the beginning. We're four co-founders — three brothers and a product visionary — who saw 30% commissions destroying restaurant margins and decided to build the alternative.
The restaurant industry is a $1 trillion sector that employs 15.6 million Americans. It is built on hospitality, family, craft, and community. And right now, its primary digital distribution channel takes 30% of every order — three to ten times the restaurant's entire profit margin.
OPA! charges $0 commission. Every order. Every day. We built a subscription model that aligns our success with restaurant success — not one that profits from their dependence.
2,400+ locations across 50 states trust OPA! with their ordering infrastructure. We integrate with Toast, Square, Clover, Shift4, and Olo in 48 hours. And we're just getting started.
Every decision starts with: does this help the operator? If it doesn't, we don't build it. Our business model exists because we chose alignment over extraction.
We don't debate what we can measure. Commission rates, margin impact, integration time — everything at OPA! is quantified. Data wins every argument.
48-hour integrations. Two-week feature cycles. We move fast because the restaurants we serve can't afford to wait. Urgency is a value, not a pressure.
No committees. No approval chains for obvious decisions. Everyone at OPA! owns their domain completely — and the results that come with it.
We published our sales playbook. We put our pricing on the website. We share the math with every operator. Transparency isn't a strategy — it's how we work.
We don't have open roles at the moment. But we're always interested in hearing from exceptional people — engineers, operators, designers, and domain experts who care about the restaurant industry as much as we do.
If you're someone who builds things that matter, we'd love to hear from you. Send us a note — the right conversation at the right time changes everything.
“We didn't build OPA! because it was a good business idea. We built it because we sat across from a restaurant owner who had accepted his own defeat. And we refused to accept it with him.”
