Common Questions

What Results Do Restaurant Operators Get with Expo?

It depends on the operator, but the common ones are time and margin. Operators report saving their finance teams 40+ hours a month on manual reporting, improving prime costs by up to 100 basis points by pinpointing waste, and lifting check averages around 10% through better upsell visibility.

Which Restaurant Brands Use Expo?

Expo works with the largest franchisees of national brands like Wingstop, Whataburger, Burger King, and Popeyes, plus full-service operators like Romano's Macaroni Grill, Sullivan's, and Eddie Merlot's. Our partners span QSR, fast casual, casual dining, and fine dining, running anywhere from 10 units to several hundred.

How Fast Can Expo Go Live?

Days, not months. Most multi-unit operators go from contract to live, custom dashboards in days, because the Expo team handles integration setup and maintenance. That's the difference operators point to versus building analytics in-house with tools like PowerBI or Tableau, which typically takes 6–12 months and $100K+ before the first useful dashboard.
