BACK-OF-HOUSE TECH

Headquartered in Austin, Texas Reality Based Group (RBG) partners with lead‑ ing brands to measure, analyze, and improve customer experience through video-based mystery shopping, analyt‑ ics, and consulting. RBG has provided these services across industries for over 2 decades. Our GameFilm plat ‑ form transforms how companies see and coach customer interactions — just like reviewing game film in sports. We exist to give you the reality of your business. We don’t tell you what you want to hear. We show you what you need to see.

We built an AI Concierge for restau‑ rants, then realized restaurants don’t need more software to manage. So we manage it for them. heytruffle handles phone orders, payments, reservations, private events, catering and guest questions. We build it, train it, monitor it and continuously improve it along‑ side your team. You run the restaurant. We run the phones.
