“What compelled me to take a large bet on these guys was their deep understanding of their customers. Covid has accelerated the adoption of specific technologies, such as QR codes for menus.

The leadership team of the restaurant can use this platform to help with tasks including digitising orders via QR code shopping, merchant services, guest data gathering and recognition, stocking and recipe administration, and financial planning.
