Jason DeVelvis

Jason is a partner in Family Room Coffee & Bake Shop in Central Ohio, where he helped the shop turn a profit in its very first year by blending his background in operations and technology to grow revenue and cut expenses.

To do that, he built software to give his team a clear picture of their numbers. What began with automated inventory soon expanded into a kitchen display system with order-specific recipes and reporting that made COGS, realtime usage, and expenses easy to understand. Acting on those reports has saved Family Room thousands of dollars each month.

Seeing how much it helped in his own shop, Jason launched Boost Back Office so other owners could use the same tools. Boost gives cafes realtime inventory, usage tracking, straightforward reports, intelligent purchasing recommendations, order-specific recipe display for employees, and more.
