Welcome to Episode 52 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast of your most-trusted source for startup and tech jobs, news, and insights!

For this episode of our podcast, I interviewed Allison Page, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at SevenRooms in New York City.

SevenRooms is an all-in-one reservation, seating and guest management platform that is used by customers ranging from neighborhood restaurants to international hospitality groups.

The company raised a $8M Series A round of funding last December and they just announced an investment for Amazon’s Alexa Fund to introduce in-service, voice-enabled technology for the restaurant industry.

In this episode of our podcast, we cover:

-Allison’s background, including the lessons she learned having a side hustle while working in investment banking.

-How the founding team spent their time learning the hospitality industry to discover the pain points that SevenRooms would initially focus on.

-How the curiosity factor is helpful for people who are considering a career in product management.

-The trickle-down effect that has happened in terms of hiring across the company based on having a diverse leadership team.

-Plus, a lot more.
