Built by People Who've Been Behind the Bar
We're not just developers who learned about restaurants from a spec sheet. We're hospitality veterans who got tired of watching the industry get ripped off.
The Problem Was Obvious
After 30 years in the hospitality game and countless shifts pulling pints and plating dishes, we'd seen enough. The restaurant software industry was stuck in a loop: expensive proprietary hardware that breaks the moment the warranty expires, software that hasn't been updated since 2012, and support teams that charge £200 just to pick up the phone.
(Let's be honest—most people think POS stands for "Piece of Shit." With some solutions, that's quite apt.)
Meanwhile, everyone—staff, customers, managers—walks around with a supercomputer in their pocket. An iPhone has more processing power than the clunky terminals vendors charge £2,000+ for. It just didn't make sense.
So we asked: What if we built something better?
Fresh Thinking, Battle-Tested Tech
Modern Stack
Built with Next.js, React, and Node.js—the same tech powering Netflix and Airbnb. We use cutting-edge techniques like server-side rendering, edge computing, and real-time sync to deliver native-app performance in a web browser.
Zero-Downtime Network
Our network and radio engineers built a peer-to-peer mesh system. When the internet drops or slows to a crawl (hello, Saturday night with 400 people on WiFi), terminals talk directly to each other. Orders still flow. The kitchen stays in sync.
Bulletproof Architecture
We know busy restaurants are chaotic WiFi zones. 400 bums on seats means 400 WiFi connections competing for bandwidth. That's why we built offline-first, with local caching, optimistic updates, and automatic conflict resolution.
Built for Humans
We've worked the floor. We know what it's like when the rush hits and you need to fire 12 tables at once. Every button, every flow, every interaction is designed for speed and clarity under pressure.
We Looked at the "Leaders"
The big players in this space are coasting on legacy contracts and vendor lock-in. Their software looks like it was designed in 2008 (because it was). Their hardware is overpriced and fragile. Their support is a black hole.
We saw an opportunity to do what tech companies do best: move fast, ship features, and actually listen to users. No 18-month release cycles. No "that feature costs extra." No proprietary hardware that only works with our system.
It was time for something fresh, feature-packed, and bulletproof.
So we built it.
Who We Are
Full-Stack Hospitality Nerds
We're a team of senior developers with 30+ years of combined hospitality experience and deep expertise in building restaurant systems. We've been bartenders, waiters, managers, and owners. We know this industry inside out because we've lived it.
The Stack
We don't just use modern tech because it's trendy. We use it because it's proven, scalable, and maintained by massive communities. When you build on Next.js and React, you're building on the same foundation as billion-dollar companies.
