Food With A Story™

Every decision a diner makes is data. Every time a chef stumbles upon a new combination, that’s data. Data is meaningful…but only because it tells a story. Without that story, without that insight, it’s just noise. You need stories to help you tell yours. To decide what products to bring to market, to understand what to put on the menu, to sell your ideas to customers. Food With A Story™ — that’s what Datassential brings, an intuitive, easy, accessible way to transform endless amounts of data into clear stories.
