Restaurants Have Tech for Everything — Josh Sharkey Says Recipes Deserve Their Own Place

Josh Sharkey, founder and CEO of meez, shares why staying focused has become one of the biggest lessons in building restaurant technology. From creating better tools for chefs and kitchens to earning trust through consistent storytelling, Sharkey explains why meez is doubling down on recipes, building deeper connections with the restaurant community, and staying true to what the company does best. Josh sits down with Shawn Walchef from the National Restaurant show in Chicago.  Consistency Builds Trust – Josh Sharkey believes the biggest returns come from showing up consistently over time. Whether it’s podcasting, storytelling, or building a restaurant technology company, trust isn’t created with one big moment. It’s earned through repeated effort and meaningful connections. Know What You Do Best – As meez has grown, Sharkey has learned the importance of staying focused. Rather than trying to solve every restaurant technology problem, the company is doubling down on its core mission of building the best recipe tool possible for chefs and kitchens. Your Actions Tell Your Story – Sharkey believes a brand is defined by more than what it says. From the gifts he gives chefs to the way meez connects with its community, the actions a company takes can communicate what it values more powerfully than any piece of marketing.
