About us
The Ultimate Combo: Domain Expertise Meets Artificial Intelligence
Where domain expertise, cutting-edge technology, and world class talent meet to pave a new path forward for decision makers.
Why we're here
Making decision intelligence accessible to all brick and mortar businesses
SignalFlare is built on the belief that brick and mortar businesses cannot afford to fly blind in an increasingly competitive and transient world.
COVID-19 shattered every predictive model in the restaurant industry, rendering historical data insufficient. While "AI-powered dashboards" have become more ubiquitous, we realized a deeper truth: siloed insights aren't enough.
Traditional Business Intelligence creates bottlenecks at every step of the process. Months are spent assembling data flows and visualizations, then weeks more synthesizing insights before any action occurs. By the time decisions are made, market conditions have already shifted.
A new approach is needed. Born from the team that built global pricing systems for McDonald's and Burger King, SignalFlare pioneers Decision Intelligence — technology that unifies multiple data streams (foot traffic, credit card spending, local economics, and your proprietary data) with industry-specific AI agents that illuminate profitable paths forward.
Our mission: To empower industry leaders with forward-looking technology that closes the gap between insight and decision.
From pricing optimization that consistently delivers 90%+ flow-thru to competitive intelligence that forecasts market shifts months in advance, we're transforming how successful businesses navigate a brave new world.

Note from the founder
Thirty years ago, I had a simple realization: most businesses are drowning in data but struggling with decision fatigue.
As the fifth hire at Revenue Management Solutions, I helped build the algorithms that convinced McDonald's—and eventually the entire QSR industry—that data-driven pricing was a competitive advantage. But I learned that having the right answer isn't enough. The real challenge is getting from insight to action—the "last mile" of decision intelligence.
That's why I founded SignalFlare. We're building the future of Decision Intelligence through the expertise of industry veterans and AI agents that democratize sophisticated analytics for businesses of every size.
When traditional forecasting models broke in 2020, we pioneered a new approach: instead of starting with historical sales data, we start with the customer and build understanding from the ground up, combining mobile behavioral data, local economic forces, and competitive intelligence.
You get insights, recommendations, and the confidence to act.
My vision is for SignalFlare to be your strategic partner in transforming uncertainty into opportunity, one decision at a time.
