Forza Holdings announced a series of strategic investments in KitchenSync, a provider of artificial intelligence-powered financial reporting and back office software supporting the restaurant and hospitality sectors. The Newport Beach-based structured and specialty private financing firm confirmed both a debt investment and a convertible note investment in the company, deepening a partnership that has expanded significantly in recent months.
The announcement also highlighted KitchenSync’s successful closing of a $10 million strategic credit facility arranged through Forza’s capital markets network. The facility was designed to offer competitive terms, strong pricing, and meaningful integration and cross-selling opportunities. The structure provides KitchenSync with capital to accelerate growth while continuing to improve its balance sheet position. The company plans to utilize this capital to expand its platform capabilities and support the broader adoption of modernized financial operations technology among restaurant and hospitality operators.
Forza said the transaction reflects its differentiated investment model, which emphasizes value creation through strategic support, operational expertise, and business development resources rather than simply supplying capital. The firm noted that its ongoing collaboration with KitchenSync’s leadership has reinforced its confidence in the company’s performance and long-term potential. Forza also reiterated that its broader strategy centers on bringing strategic, operational, and financial support to founders and management teams seeking to scale.
The investments in KitchenSync represent the latest example of Forza’s approach to partnering with companies across various industries, including technology, financial services, healthcare, real estate, energy, and consumer goods. The firm’s credit division, Forza Capital, provides flexible credit structures for growth capital, partnership buyouts, runway extension, equity value creation, and other strategic financing needs.
