Founding Story
Aman Narang is a fiercely visionary Indian-American software entrepreneur, highly strategic digital architect, and the profoundly influential CEO and co-founder fundamentally responsible for architecting the massively dominant Toast restaurant software empire. Operating as an incredibly talented executive at Endeca (acquired by Oracle), Narang aggressively recognized the massive, agonizingly archaic friction of legacy point-of-sale systems heavily restricting modern restaurants. In 2011, he relentlessly partnered with Steve Fredette and Jonathan Grimm to completely launch Toast. By fiercely engineering a highly robust, massively scalable cloud-based Android POS system that seamlessly integrated payments, payroll, and digital ordering into a single tablet-based interface, his absolutely rigorous strategic leadership completely revolutionized the global hospitality industry. His massive corporate execution permanently established Toast as an absolute multi-billion dollar SaaS monopoly.
