Imagine a world where you sign up to work with a company that promises to help you drive revenue and you never pay them a dollar–rather, they pay you.

Today we sit down with Max and his colleague Tom Tolbert to discuss how this small startup has grown to over 500 venues, gained over one million users, and how their platform can add overhead free dollars to your bottom line.
