Our story began in 1999 with two individual companies on separate continents with trailblazing entrepreneurs at their helms. Both shared similar goals—to streamline restaurant and hotel processes through intelligent technology. Both grew exponentially and became well-recognized brands in the technology sector—Fourth and HotSchedules. Then in July 2019, these two companies merged to fulfill one shared goal as Fourth. Today, we are a global leader in data-driven workforce and inventory technology for the retail, restaurant, and hospitality sectors. With over 20 years of expertise in data and analytics, only the Fourth Intelligence Platform empowers operators with predictive insights and real-time intelligence to make effective staffing and inventory decisions with speed and confidence. And with better decision-making in the palm of their hands, it’s easier than ever to maintain peak efficiency, improve razor-thin margins, and most importantly, deliver exceptional guest experiences. Fourth is trusted by over 15,000 customers across 100,000 sites globally with 2.5 million users, helping them conquer the day with confidence, whatever comes their way, every day.
