Mark your calendars for the next StartupSac Happy Hour on May 28! We’ll have another guest entrepreneur ready to answer your startup, innovation, and entrepreneurial questions. Our featured guest this month will be Sonny Mayugba, serial entrepreneur, alum of the Launch accelerator, founder of Requested and now, Chief Marketing Officer for Waitr.
Sonny Mayugba is Chief Marketing Officer of Waitr Holdings (Nasdaq:WTRH), the highly successful mobile on-demand restaurant ordering and delivery company. In his role, Sonny has been instrumental in positioning Waitr, which became a public company in late 2018, for the national stage, and led all communications efforts surrounding Waitr’s recent acquisition of Bite Squad, a Minneapolis-based online restaurant food delivery service. Stewarding the Waitr brand, user acquisition, activation and retention and company revenue growth, Sonny has helped Waitr grow to serve cities in 22 states across the U.S.
Sonny joined Waitr through the acquisition of the company he founded, Requested, a venture-funded software platform that enabled diners to name their own price at restaurants that Inc. Magazine named one of the top eight startups to watch for in 2015. He has a passion for local food, which he embraces as the Founder/Owner of the popular Red Rabbit Kitchen and Bar, Solomon’s Deli and Tiger Bar, all in California. Throughout his career, Sonny has built impactful business strategies for global commodities, NASDAQ-traded retailers and top-tier lifestyle brands.
So start prepping your questions now and make sure you join us for an engaging evening where you can learn and get direct insight and feedback as well as enjoy the supportive, collaborative Sacramento startup community.
