Venga offers a guest management platform that links reservation data, point-of-sale records and systems like OpenTable to build customer profiles and preferences. The product requires no guest opt-in, email, phone number, or credit card to identify returning diners and deliver personalized service. It maintains purchase history and can segment customers into mailing lists if an email is provided, enabling targeted campaigns and tracking campaign-driven spend. Venga says restaurants do not need to change staff workflows because the system integrates with existing POS and reservation systems. The company was incubated in The Fort in Washington, D.C., and is led by founders Sam von Pollaro and Winston Bao Lord. Financially, Venga has just completed a $1 million Series A financing to support its product and growth.
