Opportunity: Restaurant and hospitality businesses concentrate on great food and service while relying on a fractured set of third party applications to handle the rest of their complex business.
Vision: Tock was created to solve the rest efficiently through its subscription-based restaurant booking platform that is differentiated by its restaurant-friendly pricing model, online ordering platform, and a consumer digital concierge. Tock To Go was created during COVID-19 to enable restaurants to offer meals for delivery or pickup. Together, Tock and Tock To Go offer VSV strategic partners an all-in-one, competitively priced platform to manage reservations, delivery and pickup, and event management.
Status: Exited in March 2021 with the company’s sale to Squarespace
