Founder at Ambassador - Restaurant technology and a platform that works for our industry
Nav Sangha is the founder of Ambassador, a Toronto-based software company that develops point of sale, online ordering, and customer experience tools for restaurants and hospitality businesses.2 He launched Ambassador shortly after his first startup, Turnstyle Solutions, was acquired by Yelp in 2017.2
Sangha has a rich entrepreneurial background in Toronto's hospitality and retail sectors. He previously ran a respected DJ vinyl shop on Yonge Street and founded live music venues in the city's Parkdale neighborhood.1 He has also launched several restaurant ventures, including Otto's Bierhalle, Miss Thing's, and Soso Food Club.1
In response to the challenges faced by restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sangha offered to create free online ordering platforms for small businesses in need.3 His company, Ambassador, provides tools like Smart Cart and Customer Chat, which aim to empower restaurants and small to midsize businesses.2
Sangha's experience as a local retailer and restaurateur has informed the development of Ambassador's core products.2 The platform allows restaurants to keep 100% of their profits on sales, in contrast to third-party delivery services.3
