Qu, an intelligent commerce platform for enterprise QSR and fast-casual brands, earned a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list. The company ranked No. 855 among America’s fastest-growing private companies.
Qu experienced a 405% increase in revenues within a period of three years. Therefore, it joined the ranks of other thriving small businesses in the country. The annual Inc. 5000 listing acknowledges firms that experience substantial growth and success through entrepreneurship. This listing also focuses on firms that are innovative, generate jobs, and affect the U.S. economy.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is a powerful validation of the momentum we’ve built over the past 3 years,” said Amir Hudda, CEO of Qu. “We’ve grown by staying focused on one simple idea: enterprise-scale restaurant brands deserve technology that helps them move faster, operate smarter, and grow with confidence, given the challenging backdrop facing the industry. This recognition belongs to our team, our customers, and the partners who continue to push us to raise the bar, and it gives us even more momentum as we build what’s next for restaurant technology.”
