Description

In this episode of "Keeping Up With Data," Pan Koutlakis, co-founder and CEO of Eat Club, shares how he turned lessons from managing Adelaide nightclubs into building one of Australia’s fastest-growing restaurant tech platforms. He reveals how Eat Club’s dynamic pricing helps venues fill empty tables, boost profitability, and create atmosphere - all powered by machine learning and seamless payment tech.


Pan opens up about surviving COVID’s impact, scaling into London, and why transparency, adaptability, and smart data use have been key to their success. A must-listen for anyone interested in startups, hospitality innovation, or building businesses that last.
