Apicbase
TLDR
Apicbase is an Antwerp-based food and beverage lifecycle management platform co-founded by Carl Jacobs, with a EUR 4M Series A and integration across multi-location restaurant groups.
Overview
Based in Antwerp, Apicbase provides end-to-end food and beverage management software for multi-location restaurant groups, catering companies, and food service operators. The platform covers recipe and menu management, ingredient cost tracking, procurement planning, allergen and nutritional labeling, and production planning, connecting the culinary and operational sides of food service into a single system.
Apicbase targets the growing segment of food operators who need to manage consistency, cost, and compliance across many locations simultaneously, a challenge that becomes increasingly unmanageable with spreadsheets as restaurant groups scale. The company raised a EUR 4M Series A in 2021.
