FusionPrep

What FusionPrep does

FusionPrep is a cloud-based training, safety, and compliance platform built specifically for multi-unit restaurant operators. The product, operated by the Florida corporation 212 Digital, Inc. and headquartered in Tampa, combines an iPad application used at the kitchen line with a web-based control panel for above-store management. Core modules cover training content (recipes, builds, photos, videos, handbooks), safety (food rotation labeling, temperature logs, wireless thermometer integration with Cooper Atkins/Emerson and ThermoWorks, and COVID-19 employee screening), and compliance (line checks, checklists, prep lists, scheduled tasks, smart corrective actions, and a centralized audit dashboard). Hardware integrations with IoT providers such as MachineQ (Comcast) extend the platform into continuous temperature and humidity monitoring. Named enterprise customers include First Watch Restaurants and Twin Peaks, and the company states it serves thousands of restaurants globally.

The business model is a per-device software subscription with annual billing, layered on top of a free-trial funnel that does not require a credit card. FusionPrep uses a hybrid go-to-market: product-led self-serve signup for evaluation, plus an inside/field sales motion for enterprise multi-unit chains, supported by free implementation services that configure prep lists, recipes, and training content for new customers. Marketing relies on the company website, blog, social channels (Facebook, Twitter), email, and industry event participation (e.g., NRA Show). The company has not raised institutional capital, operates with 1-10 employees, and appears to be founder-controlled (co-founders Shawn Berg and Chon), indicating a bootstrapped, capital-efficient operating profile.

Recent strategic activity has centered on product breadth rather than scale: a major feature release in August 2020 added linked ingredients and additional thermometer integrations; COVID-19 employee screening and the Restaurant Insights Dashboard launched in May-June 2020; and a March 2023 partnership with MachineQ added IoT-backed temperature and humidity monitoring. The company has not disclosed M&A, funding rounds, geographic expansion beyond the United States, or any AI/ML capabilities, leaving product depth and IoT integration as the primary vectors of recent development.
