A serial entrepreneur, Mike Jacobs excels at inventing new technologies for the restaurant sector. Through founding Tap.in2, Ordermark, Nextbite, and Team Kitchens he honed his expertise in combining high-tech with experiential marketing for food, sports, and entertainment brands to create new business modalities.
