Solving real challenges for restaurants
We understand the pressures restaurants face: tight margins, fluctuating demand, and the need to deliver consistently excellent service.
We can help restaurants overcome challenges such as:
- Needing to maximise customer lifetime value and average spend
- Labour scheduling headaches such as overstaffing, understaffing, or poor shift alignment
- Acquiring new customers without having to share high portions of revenue with 3rd party ordering apps
- Difficulty forecasting demand and managing supply chains, leading to stockouts or spoilage
- Reliance on expensive off-the-shelf software tools
- Lack of data to make informed decisions
Solutions we design, build, and manage
We create digital platforms that help restaurants run smoother, serve faster, and connect better with their guests.
AI & intelligent automation
Predict busy periods, optimise staff schedules, automate supplier orders, or suggest the perfect upsell in-app. We focus on AI that drives measurable improvements to speed, guest satisfaction, and profitability.
Custom software
From integrated booking and POS systems to kitchen display screens, delivery integrations, and loyalty platforms, we develop systems tailored to your workflows, brand, and guest experience goals.
Mobile apps
Guest-facing apps for ordering, loyalty rewards, and personalised offers. Staff-facing apps for table-side ordering, menu updates, and instant access to stock and order status. All designed to work beautifully on the floor, in the kitchen, or on the go.
Data warehousing & analytics
Unite data from POS, reservations, delivery platforms, inventory tools, and customer engagement systems. Track performance in real time, forecast demand, and use AI-powered menu insights to boost covers and reduce waste.
System modernisation
Replace clunky, slow, or unreliable systems with fast, reliable, and integrated platforms, without interrupting service or retraining your entire team.
System migrations
Move mission-critical systems to modern environments with minimal downtime and no impact on guests or front-of-house staff.
