Daniel C.

Most technology vendors hand you a login and wish you luck. I take a different approach. I'm Daniel, founder of Boldly Forge — a technology consulting and implementation firm for restaurants, retailers, and hospitality brands. I help business owners implement POS systems, websites, online ordering, loyalty programs, and marketing automation that actually work in day-to-day operations — then stay with them long after go-live. Across my client portfolio, I process over 1 million transactions annually and have delivered an average 20% increase in sales through smarter POS implementations, connected commerce, and intentional optimization. Here's what that looks like in practice: - 50% revenue growth in 9 months for a Brooklyn restaurant group — driven purely by optimizing their existing Square setup before migrating to Toast - $100K in revenue from email campaigns for a local food brand using targeted marketing automation - $10K+ generated from a single email automation sequence for a restaurant client - 4,000+ product catalog migrated to Shopify for a specialty retailer - 150,000+ transactions processed annually for a multi-venue events and retail operation - 9 locations deployed for a regional coffee chain, with unified POS, reporting, and loyalty I work across the full stack of restaurant and retail technology: POS Systems: Toast, Square, Shopify POS Websites and Online Ordering: Squarespace, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow Marketing Automation: Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, Constant Contact Loyalty and CRM: Toast Loyalty, Square Loyalty, branded mobile apps Local SEO and Reputation Management System Optimization and Ongoing Support As an official partner with Square and a Squarespace Circle Member, I bring certified expertise to every engagement.
