RestaurantTrade (www.RestaurantTrade.com), the leading provider of Web-based software for independent restaurants and their suppliers, yesterday announced that a total of 42 new customers have signed on in the past two months.

The company attributes its success and the significant expansion of its customer base in New York to the recent solution upgrade, which includes integration with restaurants’ point-of-sale systems.

RestaurantTrade’s core set of highly regarded restaurants has more than doubled in the past two months to include Beppe, Blue Hill, Chicama, Craft, District, Gallagher’s, Grand Central Oyster Bar, Hudson River Club, Irving on Irving, Le Marais (with two locations in New York City), Les Halles (with locations in New York City, Washington, and Miami), Local, Moran’s, Pipa, Town, and Veritas.

“At this point, we’re signing up an average of at least one new customer a day, and we are poised for expansion beyond New York into other markets along the East Coast and, further down the line, across the country,” said Damian J. Mogavero, CEO and Founder, RestaurantTrade. “Restaurants and suppliers are now embracing technology to address the industry’s mass inefficiencies; once they see the RestaurantTrade system, they’re hooked.”

Some of the top restaurant industry suppliers have also signed on, including Alba Seafood, Alma Gourmet, Amici’s Italian Bakery, Boscovivo, Borax Paper, Dairyland, Down East Seafood, Fallow Hollow, G.A.F. Seelig, Inc., Gourmet Guru, Hans Mushrooms & More, JB Prince, Lucky’s Real Tomatoes, Northrip Trading, Satur Farms, Scandia Seafood, Summerfield Farms, Swede Farms, Sweet Mountain Berries, Urbani Truffles, White Coffee, and Wotiz Meats.

In addition to rapid customer wins, RestaurantTrade has funded scholarships for French Culinary Institute, Culinary Institute of America, and Cornell University School of Hotel Management, and is sponsoring the 2001 James Beard Award for Outstanding Service.
