Restaurants & Hospitality
Everything has to work when the room is full.
Hospitality has a failure mode that most sectors do not: the load and the stakes peak at the same moment. A system that tests perfectly at ten in the morning and falls over during a full service has not been tested, and a fault that only appears under a crowd is invisible to anyone who checks the equipment on a bench. That pattern is most of what we get called about here, and it is why the diagnosis matters more than the parts list.
What we hear
The problems that actually show up.
Not a market overview. These are the specific failures that bring people to us in this sector.
Faults that only appear when it matters
The microphone, the card reader or the tablet works all afternoon and fails during the event. Tested in isolation it is fine every time, so it gets replaced instead of diagnosed, and the replacement fails the same way.
Coverage designed from a floor plan
Wi-Fi and wireless audio are specified from a drawing rather than a survey, and the drawing does not contain the walk-in, the crowd, or the metal cabinet somebody later mounted the receiver inside.
Systems that do not talk
The POS, the reservation book, the events calendar and the accounting package each hold part of the truth, and someone re-keys between them nightly.
No slack for a maintenance window
There is no quiet quarter. Changes have to be reversible and scheduled around service, because the room is booked and the alternative to a working system is a refund.
High turnover against standing access
Seasonal and part-time staffing means accounts and devices change constantly, and the leaver process is usually the one nobody owns.
What we build here
Systems we’ve shipped in this sector.
Some of these are whole products; some are one screen that removed a week of manual work. Both count.
- Front-of-house and back-of-house tooling that fits the actual service pattern
- Reservation, event and banquet coordination systems
- POS and payment integrations into accounting and reporting
- Inventory, par-level and waste tracking
- Scheduling and labour-cost tooling for variable rosters
- Reporting that reconciles covers, revenue and labour to one set of numbers
Integrates with
The estate you already have.
We work through supported interfaces, not screen-scraping that breaks at the next upgrade.
Built to
The standards this sector answers to.
Engineered in from the start. Retrofitting conformance costs several times as much and produces a worse result.
