About Bottlely
We're on a mission to revolutionize how small hospitality businesses manage their operations through intelligent automation.
Our Mission
We believe that restaurant and bar owners shouldn't spend their nights counting bottles and balancing books. They should be creating memorable experiences for their guests.
Our Story
Bottlely was born from countless conversations with restaurant and bar owners who were drowning in manual inventory management and bookkeeping tasks.
We saw talented entrepreneurs spending 15-20 hours a week on tasks that could be automated, taking time away from what they do best - running their businesses and serving their customers.
So we set out to build the AI-powered assistant that works like a trusted team member, understanding natural language and handling the complex but repetitive work behind the scenes.
Our Values
Human-First
Technology should work for humans, not the other way around. We build tools that feel natural and intuitive.
Simplicity
Complex problems deserve simple solutions. We eliminate friction and make powerful tools accessible to everyone.
Innovation
We're not just building software - we're reimagining how small businesses can thrive in the digital age.

We're a passionate team of technologists, designers, and hospitality industry veterans united by a common goal.
