PrepWizard replaces the handwritten tape on restaurant prep containers with a cloud-based system that prints accurate, date-coded food safety labels, saving labor hours, cutting waste and reducing the risk of a failed inspection. The Knoxville, Tennessee company has received a strategic investment from 404 Endeavors.
Founded by Doug Harris with his sons Cole Harris and Eli Harris, PrepWizard is in use across tens of thousands of restaurant locations and also sells WorkWizard, a digital operations platform. Cole Harris remains president and Eli Harris chief technology officer. The brothers said they chose 404 Endeavors because the firm shares their vision and brings relevant expertise. Elie Javice, co-founder and co-managing partner of 404 Endeavors, said he has been impressed by the business the Harris family built. 404 Endeavors, founded by Mr. Javice and Andrew Hudis, invests proprietary capital in technology businesses serving restaurants and other multi-unit operators and works on one platform at a time. Brown Gibbons Lang & Company served as financial advisor.
