Founding CEO
Daniel R. Döderlein
Daniel Döderlein is the founder and CEO of Tablez. A serial entrepreneur with three decades in the trenches and six exits, he has built and scaled companies across technology, product design, services, advertising, media, apparel, and financial services.
His work in hospitality runs on both sides of the pass. On the tech and investment side, he has built and backed platforms that serve restaurants, hotels, and lifestyle venues. On the operational side, he has spent years inside kitchens and front-of-house teams, learning what it takes to deliver an extraordinary evening to a table of four on a Saturday night. Tablez is the product he wished existed every time he watched a phone ring unanswered in a busy dining room.
Daniel was named Entrepreneur of the Year in 2014 by the Norwegian Venture Capital Association. He has served on the Google Cloud Customer Advisory Board, contributed as a fintech expert at Forbes, and been featured on CNBC, BBC, and Bloomberg discussing entrepreneurship, AI, and the future of commerce. He is a resident startup mentor for Innovation Norway, completed the Pretotyping programme under former Google executive Alberto Savoia, and is the author of the Idea Validation Framework and the Simple Strategy Framework.
Outside work, Daniel is an active private pilot rated for land and seaplanes. He is a devoted cook and a lifelong appreciator of the craft behind a well-run kitchen. With Tablez, he is on a mission to put the power back in the hands of restaurants. He is on your side of the table.
