TASK Software welcomes John Laporte in the newly created executive leadership role of President of TASK, North America.

John brings over 20 years of restaurant tech experience in CIO-level roles for large North American franchises, including Johnson Restaurant Group, CraftWorks Restaurants and Breweries, Logan’s Roadhouse and El Pollo Loco. His valuable expertise and experience in what hospitality businesses need in their technology toolkit, combined with his ability to build and execute on a clear vision, make him incredibly well positioned to lead TASK’s growth in the US and Canadian markets into an accelerated phase of growth.

John’s knowledge and experience in taking hospitality companies through POS and digital transformations will be a valuable addition to our team. The team and I are looking forward to having John lead our ambitious growth plans in the U.S.”
