About us

Every small business is a big deal. SMBs have a major impact on the lives of their owners, as well as the macroeconomic success of their communities and national economy. Despite their significant impact, these businesses often lack access to tools and resources, leaving them vulnerable. As a result, very few end up making it. Apron is focused on helping more small businesses make it. The biggest threat to small business is cash flow, often stemming from a gap between the demand payments put on owners and the aptitude to make the payments effectively. At Apron we are closing the gap by digitising and simplifying the payments process. Whether capturing invoices, enabling collaboration for approvals, or combining long lists of invoices into one simple batch pay solution, Apron is your Powertool for Payments. Over time Apron will enable business owners to coordinate all outgoing and incoming payments, streamlining time and effort so you are freed up to focus on the business as a whole. By flipping payments from painful to powerful, Apron is amplifying the next generation of economic drivers. Apron Your Business Paid For

  • Finances in the restaurant business are notoriously messy 🍖 With so many different suppliers needing payment at different times, admin can become a massive drain on creativity and time spent cooking. Remi of Smoke & Salt chose to run payroll and supplier payments with Apron partly because of our bulk pay feature 💸 It allows him to pay staff and suppliers together in a single payment.
