WHAT IS START-EAT-UP?
START-EAT-UP is a monthly event that takes place in Porto and Lisbon, dedicated to transforming the restaurant sector in Portugal.
Our mission is to support all businesses — from independent restaurants to large chains — in digitizing processes, optimizing operations and discovering new opportunities through technology and innovation.
We bring together experts, industry leaders and disruptive startups to share practical knowledge, field-validated strategies and solutions that make a difference in the day-to-day running of restaurants.
More than an event, START-EAT-UP is a movement.
A living space for sharing real stories — of achievements, mistakes, new beginnings — that inspire and strengthen entrepreneurs.
We are building a solid community based on mutual assistance, collaboration and the vision of a more efficient, sustainable and connected future for the entire sector.
