Services Introduction

• Founded by Marty Hahnfeld and Juan (JG) George, the duo that architected and led the marketing, sales, and post-sales service functions at Olo, a first-in-a-generation hospitality technology success story. Praised by industry analysts as "The most efficient sales and marketing SaaS company,” Olo's growth story serves as a model for focused, lean, and efficient commercial execution.
• Our track record includes partnering with 75% of publicly traded restaurant brands and owning the majority market share in nearly every enterprise restaurant segment, including but not limited to Fast Casual, Casual Dining, and Family Dining.
• We crafted the industry’s finest top-down sales model, selling exclusively to brand HQs who then, in turn, mandated the programs to franchisees. We signed long-term, complex, exclusive software agreements featuring premium pricing. No pilot agreements, no termination for convenience clauses.
• 858 is supported by an Advisory Board of over 20 respected industry executives.  This community of experts provides valuable input on product direction, operational needs, and commercial structure, helping 858 and our partners stay ahead of the curve and make informed decisions for growth and success.
