About Us

Industry experts with a fresh perspective.

After years of watching restaurant chain operators struggle to reduce costs, our team saw an opportunity to help. Formed in 2007 and opened in 2008 as a fully funded LLC, SpenDifference was created to provide the systems support and greater scale necessary for chain operators to further reduce costs and improve their overall business.

Today, SpenDifference helps our clients operate just like larger chains. By working with multiple clients we create buying power through scale. That buying power gives us the leverage to deliver savings on items specific to our clients menu offerings. And the savings we offer go beyond the front of the house. Our clients gain efficiencies and savings on everything including purchasing, distribution, systems support, unit level audits, and organization. Working together we are building stronger, smarter businesses.

By focusing on driving out costs, managing risks and protecting their brand, our customers are free to focus on ever important matters such as execution, growth and profitability. - Maryanne Rose-Lewis, CEO and President

At SpenDifference we believe in putting our cards on the table. That’s why our financial activities are fully transparent to our clients. No kickbacks. No backdoor rebates. No costly surprises.

We’re industry professionals ourselves so we understand the restaurant business. That’s why we continue to evolve how we do business, to better assist our clients and improve and strengthen your businesses.
