Matt Brunty's journey began as an in-house technician for an independent franchise owner, where his dedication and thirst for knowledge drove him to excel. Eager to expand his horizons, he transitioned to Fesco, embracing every opportunity to learn and grow. Yet, his heart remained in West Virginia, where he recognized a significant need for a reliable foodservice company. Determined to fill this gap, Matt established his own venture, prioritizing quality service, customer satisfaction, and a familial atmosphere for his team. From humble beginnings with just two technicians, he has since expanded to 17 technicians across three branches. Matt's inspiring story illustrates the boundless opportunities within the foodservice industry.

If you are a small to medium sized food service repair company, you want to hear this. Ray and his brother started Roopairs to help restaurant operators and turned it into one of the smoothest running software that a service company can run. It is very user friendly for the technicians out in the field. It is intuitive in how it flows and processes. It also ties into 3rd party platforms and eliminates the need for extra steps for your technicians to check in and out of calls.

Give this a listen and see what you think about Ray and Roopairs.
