From the founder

OvenPost is a weekly newsletter about the business of running a restaurant — labor, food cost, tech, marketing. We're at 32,000 verified subscribers with a 48% open rate and a sponsorship calendar sold out through Q2 2026.

Revenue mix is 78% sponsorships, 18% job board, 4% affiliate. TTM revenue $214k with $148k profit. I write it Sundays.

I'm selling because I'm taking a CMO role at a restaurant-tech company and the conflict is obvious. Whoever buys this gets a beachhead in a niche that's hard to break into.
