More to come in Spring 2020!

We're in the process of building our core infrastructure and making our first facility & restaurant purchases. If you know a food business owner who would like to retire in the next 5 years, I'd love to interview them!

About the founder of Sculry:

Pitching Hospitality-first Healthcare at a round table event (Microsoft - Times Square NYC).

Christopher Whitson

I founded Sculry to take advantage of inefficiencies and missed opportunities in the food market. I have a unique take on the industry thanks to eclectic perspectives & experiences.

Increased margins; includes making non-profitable operations (like loss-leaders) profitable
Grow customer loyalty and satisfaction (my 2nd favorite goal to achieve)
Enhance employee morale, buy-in, & responsibility for success (my favorite goal)
Make a difference in people's lives (check out the moonshot startup I founded that worked in healthcare, maritime, nuclear, hospitality, and tech...all at the same time!)
Have fun and love what I do.

I attribute success to people. It's always people. It's what drives ROI...not tax efficiency, or interest rates, or vendor pricing. Great customers literally pay for the investor multiple. Well-trained & respected employees convince the customer to pay that multiple time after time. Take care of the people! It's not rocket science.

Career profile: Visit my LinkedIn page to get an overview of my history of experiences and roles. There are so many things I've enjoyed doing: non-profits, consulting, food, hospitality, tech, software development...it's all there. If you have questions, just ask!

Other people: Sometimes it's hard to tell if a bio is giving you BS or not. If you visit my Angel List profile you'll be able to see what others thought about my risky startup work. I think it's a good way to gauge someone when you see how they conduct themselves while doing things with a high possibility of failure.

In a nutshell: I'm a dad of 3 boys, a husband of 19 years, a stock investor since my teens, world traveler, ocean sailor, .NET developer, a happy miser, lover of long distance ocean swimming, and wildy judgemental. If you don't mind snarky takes, dirty words, progressive politics, and the like...I'm on Twitter and you can initiate a stalking campaign or start a convo with me there.
