Helping Independent
Restaurants Thrive

We know from firsthand experience how hard it is to run a successful take-out restaurant. That’s why we created an end-to-end digital operating platform for restaurants. We handle take-out order processing, payment processing, and marketing promotions. As the Wonders team says, “we offer everything but the kitchen.”

We put restaurant owners first

Restaurant Owners First

Large chains are able to afford expensive tech that gives them a huge advantage. Small restaurant owners deserve access to the same technology at an affordable price.

Since day one, we’ve put restaurant owners first —and we’re committed to helping them prosper through purpose-built technology.

The Wonders Advantage

Wonders was born out of our personal struggles running a take-out restaurant for 10+ years. We know first-hand that small restaurant owners work far too hard to earn razor-thin margins. On top of that, enterprise software vendors offer technology solutions that don’t always work for small restaurants. At Wonders, we use a combination of bits (technology) and atoms (real people) to solve real-world problems facing restaurants.

Today, we’ve helped more than 1,500 restaurant owners increase profits and secure a better future for their families. As we’ve grown, our founding principle has never changed: we aim to help independent restaurant owners realize their dreams.

  • Deliver Measurable Results

  • Be Creatives

  • Work Hard & Have Fun

    We put in the hard work and deeply care about everything we do. And we have fun while doing it.

  • Be Efficient
    Do More With Less

    Like our clients, we practice frugality and pride ourselves on doing more with less. We believe this breeds resourcefulness and invention.

Hyper-Growth Stage

After years of steady (bootstrapped) growth during our early years, Wonders has experienced exponential revenue growth over the last year. The best part? With no outside investment capital, Wonders grew into a profitable business because our restaurant clients grew sales and improved their bottom lines.

2016

The Voice Platform Launch

Steve and Dennis developed the Wonders Voice Platform, a software tool that re-routes calls from restaurants to call centers, helping restaurant owners take orders and process payments. Behind the scenes, the software integrates data analytics to measure performance, forecast demand, and ensure great customer service on every call.

2015

Product-Market Fit

Steve and Dennis realized that phone order workflow can be solved through technology– streamlining operations at restaurants. That’s when they refocused the Wonders solution to handle phone orders. In 2015, they began to build the Wonders platform to empower restaurants.

2014

The Startup

Steve and Dennis believed they could help restaurants balance peak and off-peak staffing through a shared pool of on-demand employees for taking and delivering orders. They tapped into their contacts, signed a few take-out restaurants, and started connecting them to call centers and local delivery companies.

2013

Harvard

At Harvard College, Steve majored in applied mathematics and economics. That’s when he realized that his family’s restaurant, like thousands of small restaurants, suffered from a classic labor supply and work demand problem. So in 2013, Steve left Harvard, convinced Dennis to join him, and together they began their mission to help independent restaurants through technology.

2012

The Great Wall

Steve and Dennis Lin grew up working at The Great Wall, their family Chinese take-out restaurant. Together with their sister, Julie, they juggled homework with answering the phones and packing food for delivery. However, once Julie and Dennis left for college, Steve was the only one left to help his parents. Running the restaurant efficiently became increasingly difficult.
