Built by hospitality people who bring the energy

Our Mission

Hospitality lost something when it scaled – it stopped being personal. We are on a mission to make hospitality personal again, helping marketing and sales teams get more from their tech, without having to do more.

Life is meant for living, and social experiences are a key component of that. We want to see the hospitality industry thrive by making it easier to provide deeply personal experiences for guests, whether online or at the table.

Alongside a shared love of hospitality, we strive to have a team culture that is open, proactive, transparent and fun.

Our Team

Smart, diverse, customer-obsessed, genuinely good humans.

We’re a team of engineers, product leaders, marketers, strategists, and hospitality nerds from different backgrounds, all bringing unique perspectives and shared standards: helpful, accountable, curious, kind and high-performing.

We’re here to build meaningful technology and long-term partnerships with the brands we serve.

Our Culture

We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

We care deeply about:

  • Doing great work.
  • Being great partners.
  • Building a culture people actually enjoy.
  • Helping hospitality brands thrive in a world where guest experience matters more than ever.

We believe social experiences matter. Memories matter. And hospitality plays a huge role in bringing people together — so our mission is to help operators deliver better digital experiences that turn into real-world moments.

Our Founders

Meet Carey (Rhymes with Mary) & Aden (Cocktail Tasting Officer)!

Carey and Aden started Guestwise with a clear vision:
Build tech that genuinely helps hospitality teams win.

They’ve built and sold multiple businesses (including Flyt, acquired by Just Eat), but what really sets them apart is how much they care about:

  • The people we hire.
  • The culture we build.
  • The customers we serve.
  • And the impact we create.

They keep us focused, ambitious, and grounded — and yes, they’re partial to a Negroni.
