Former Kitchen United CEO Jim Collins is joining another restaurant tech company about a year after leaving his old gig.
Collins on Wednesday was named president of Perfect Co., a restaurant software provider. He had been a member of Perfect's advisory board since March and will now lead its operations, marketing and investor relations teams.
“I’ve experienced first-hand how important operational efficiency is to a restaurant’s bottom line,” said Collins, who is also a restaurateur. “It’s really an honor to help lead a company that I believe will truly change how modern restaurants work and profit.”
Perfect's products include contactless pickup software and a kitchen workflow system designed to improve execution and reduce waste.
“Here at Perfect, we’re developing crew-focused, easy-to-use solutions that really transform restaurant operations and help operators significantly improve workflow,” said CEO Mike Wallace in a statement. “Jim is exactly the kind of leader that can help us deliver on that mission.”
Collins spent nearly three years at Kitchen United, helping to establish the company as a leader in the ghost kitchen industry. He left last October to "focus on personal endeavors."
