Marek Truskolaski

Marek Truskolaski co-founded UpMenu with Marcin Muras in 2012.

Marek leads the development of UpMenu's Partner Program, strategic partnerships, international expansion, and long-term relationships with key customers.

UpMenu is a complete restaurant operating system used by thousands of restaurants in 47+ countries — combining POS, online ordering, branded mobile apps, websites, KDS, delivery management, loyalty program, and marketing tools in one solution.

The UpMenu Partner Program, led by Marek, enables software vendors, entrepreneurs, consultants, agencies operating in the restaurant industry, and franchise owners to build recurring revenue from UpMenu through three models: Affiliate (16% monthly commission), Reseller (16.5-50% discount), and Reseller White Label (sell under your own brand).

The network spans 20+ active partners across 13+ countries in Europe, North America, and Australia.

Selected customer results:

● Lil Ava's Pizza (Canada, 9 locations) — $1.1M in direct online revenue

● Michelangelo (USA) — $863K in direct online revenue and $129K saved on commissions

● Mulberry's Market (USA) — $32K from 1,190 online orders in 3 weeks after launch
