Expo
What it is
Expo is a paid restaurant operations platform from Pared, Inc. that combines restaurant systems in one data layer. Operators can ask questions about business information in plain English, while customized dashboards and scheduled reports deliver updates to teams. Expo supports POS data connectors, labor analytics, food-cost analysis, multi-location reporting, and data export. Named integrations include Toast, Square, NCR, Restaurant365, CrunchTime, OpenTable, Yelp, Google, Qualtrics, SMG, and DoorDash. The company says its team handles integration setup and ongoing maintenance. Expo also offers an MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT and can deploy task-specific agents for business jobs. The connector requires an active Expo data pipeline, an Expo account, and an administrator-enabled seat. It is read-only, limited to permitted Expo data, and uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Plans start at $99/mo, with location-based pricing.
