Mike Reinero of Seat Ninja

In this episode of That One Thing, Gordon talks all things entrepreneurship with Mike Reinero. Mike is the president, CFO and co-founder of Seat Ninja, a restaurant seating and reservation software service that helps restaurants manage the front-of-house experience while providing guests with information for making dining decisions through its user-focused app.

Before taking on Seat Ninja, Mike started a business products company that he helped grow for 16 years before moving on to his next entrepreneurial venture. Mike shares his experience in entrepreneurship—the ups and downs; the value of mentorship; and the 5 elements he views as key to the viability of launching a new company.
