As stewards of the hospitality industry, Hawser LLC. is a public benefit company committed to supporting independent restaurants and offline community building by infusing technology with genuine hospitality.

We build apps that make things better than they need to be…and by “better” we mean: more personal, more practical, more equitable and more humane.

In order to accomplish this, we regularly remind ourselves that our values are our vertebrae, never leverage personal identifying data for profit, avoid conflicts of interest in order to provide real benefits to enrich the communities we serve and employ a guest-centered approach to every aspect of project development: from design and production to member experience & service.

PROFIT IF POSSIBLE, INTEGRITY AT ALL COSTS. 

As a public benefit company, we are committed to making a positive constructive difference first and a fair profit second.

Founders Josh Sapienza and Nathan Maas guide the company with the following principles:

People are our customers & our guests - not “targets” or “users”.

Personally identifying information isn’t collateral
to be leveraged or sold.

Positive social impact is a better goal than the maximization of revenue.

Deep personalization can be a bridge to genuine hospitality.

Diversity should be celebrated and differences of opinion should be explored.

We will be better tomorrow than we were today.

Our integrity is a non-negotiable since our values are our vertebrae.
