ResQ’s Founding Story

ResQ emerged from the conviction that managing a restaurant business should be a breeze for operators and service providers. In 2017, inspired by his struggles running Kanga Pies, Founder KJ Singh recognized the need for a better solution. Juggling the ambition to offer top-notch customer experiences with selling Australian meat pies in Canada, KJ faced operational headaches that hindered his vision.

The breaking point came when a crucial fridge malfunctioned, risking $40,000 worth of meat. Unable to get prompt repair service, KJ endured the loss, highlighting the often overlooked costs and hassles in the restaurant industry.

ResQ swiftly materialized to tackle the headaches of restaurant repairs and maintenance. With a track record of enhancing the experience for more than 5,000 restaurants and collaborating with over 3,000 vendors, ResQ is on a mission to revolutionize the repair and maintenance landscape. And this is just the beginning.

Kuljeev Singh

Founder and CEO

KJ was a Venture Capitalist in marketplace technology companies for over 7 years, who purchased a restaurant (Kanga Pies) in 2017. One weekend a large fridge broke down and KJ could not find someone to fix it before $40,000 worth of food became spoiled. After that loss, KJ resolved to build a solution to help restaurant owners operate their businesses better. ResQ was formed in 2018 and he has been dedicated to this initiative ever since.
