1. MustHaveMenus ($3.6M/year)

Jim Williams, founder and CEO of MustHaveMenus, came up with the idea for his business by recognizing the need to replace aging desktop publishing tools used by restaurants with a menu design tool on the web. He also envisioned a wide selection of templates to make it easy for restaurants to establish strong branding and communication. Despite facing technological challenges initially, MustHaveMenus attracted thousands of restaurant users and has since expanded its product lines to become a one-stop-shop for all restaurant marketing design needs.
