US business leadership. European engineering. One accountable team.
Extend your product team, deliver a fixed-scope initiative, or build a new platform with experienced engineers, QA, product leadership, and English-speaking project management.
Software built around your business, not a template.
Restaurant and hospitality brands who've outgrown off-the-shelf software.
Franchisors, multi-location groups, or adjacent platforms who need software built around how their business actually runs, not bent to fit a vendor's template.
Off-the-shelf software makes you change your operation to fit it.
When you need a workflow, integration, or reporting view that doesn't exist on any vendor's roadmap, you're stuck waiting on their timeline — or building it yourself without the right team.
What you get
- A product built around your actual workflows, not a generic platform
- Direct access to the engineers building it — no account-manager layer
- Architecture decisions made for your scale, not a one-size-fits-all system
- Ownership of the codebase — no vendor lock-in
Sample engagements — What this looks like in practice
Franchise Ordering Platform Rebuild
Replaced a rigid off-the-shelf ordering system with a custom platform built around how a multi-location franchise actually runs its floor and kitchen.
Multi-Brand Loyalty Engine
Built a shared loyalty and rewards system spanning several restaurant brands under one holding company, replacing three disconnected vendor tools.
Back-Office Operations Portal
Custom internal tooling for scheduling, inventory and vendor management, replacing a patchwork of spreadsheets across a multi-location group.
How we work — From first call to shipped software.
Discovery
We map your current workflows, systems and constraints to understand what "done" looks like.
Scope & plan
A clear proposal — architecture, milestones, and a fixed-scope or phased plan, whichever fits.
Build
Engineers, QA and a project manager working in your sprint cadence, with visibility at every step.
Ship & support
Launch, then ongoing iteration or a clean handoff — your call.
An embedded team, not a list of contractors.
Product teams and agencies who need capacity fast.
Teams who need to add senior engineering capacity without running a hiring process, and without losing control of their roadmap.
Hiring is slow. Contractors need heavy oversight.
Hiring senior engineers takes months, and contractors often need constant supervision. You need capacity you can trust with real ownership, embedded in your existing team and tools, from week one.
What you get
- A senior engineer or full squad embedded in your sprints within weeks, not months
- QA and project management included — not just individual contributors
- Direct communication in your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub, etc.), with real timezone overlap
- Scale the team up or down as your roadmap changes
Sample engagements — What this looks like in practice
Embedded Squad for a Delivery Platform
A four-person pod — two engineers, QA and a PM — embedded into a delivery-tech company's sprints, shipping alongside their in-house team within three weeks.
Senior Backend Engineer Augmentation
One senior engineer embedded into a hospitality SaaS team to unblock a stalled roadmap during a hiring freeze.
QA & Release Support for a Product Launch
Dedicated QA embedded through a six-month launch cycle, working directly in the client's sprint cadence and tooling.
How we work — From first call to embedded engineer.
Discovery call
We learn your stack, your team, and what this engagement needs to deliver.
Team match
We propose the right engineer or squad, with relevant experience where it matters.
Embed
Working in your sprints, communicating in your tools, shipping on your cadence.
Scale or wind down
Grow the team as your roadmap grows, or hand off cleanly — your call.
One source of truth for leadership.
Restaurant groups sitting on years of unused data.
Franchisors and multi-location groups with years of POS, ordering and operations data who need it turned into dashboards and decisions leadership can actually act on.
Data is scattered. Reporting is built one spreadsheet at a time.
Data is scattered across POS, ordering, delivery and back-office systems — nobody has one clear view of what's actually happening across locations.
What you get
- One connected view of sales, labor, cost and location performance
- Dashboards built for how your leadership team actually makes decisions
- Data pipelines that keep working as you add locations or systems
- Historical and real-time reporting, not just static exports
Sample engagements — What this looks like in practice
Unified Sales & Labor Dashboard
Connected POS, scheduling and payroll data across a multi-location group into one leadership dashboard, replacing manual weekly spreadsheet rollups.
Multi-Vendor Delivery Reporting
Built a pipeline consolidating order data from several delivery marketplaces into one reporting layer for a multi-brand operator.
Franchisee Performance Benchmarking
Designed a data model letting a franchisor compare location performance on consistent metrics for the first time.
How we work — From scattered data to a dashboard your team trusts.
Audit
We map your existing data sources and identify what's usable, missing, or inconsistent.
Data modeling
We design a data model and pipeline that fits your systems and scale.
Dashboard build
We build the reporting and dashboards your team will actually use daily.
Enablement
We train your team and hand off documentation, or stay on to maintain and extend it.
AI that solves a real operational problem.
Hospitality brands who want AI in production, not a pitch deck.
Restaurant brands and hospitality platforms who want practical AI running in production — not a research project — built on real operational data.
AI is easy to prototype and hard to ship.
Most restaurant and hospitality operators don't have a team that can take a model from a proof of concept to something reliable enough to run daily operations on.
What you get
- AI features scoped around a real operational problem, not a buzzword
- Practical use cases: demand forecasting, labor scheduling, menu and pricing insight, support automation
- Production-grade engineering around the model — data pipeline, monitoring, fallbacks
- Built to integrate with your existing platform, not a bolt-on tool
Sample engagements — What this looks like in practice
Demand Forecasting for Multi-Location Ordering
A forecasting model built on real POS history to guide prep and staffing decisions across locations.
AI-Assisted Support Triage
An assistant that classifies and routes inbound support requests for a hospitality platform, cutting time to first response.
Menu & Pricing Insight Tool
An internal tool surfacing pricing and menu-mix recommendations from historical sales data.
How we work — From use case to production.
Identify the use case
We find the highest-value, most tractable problem in your operation to apply AI to first.
Prototype
A working proof of concept against your real data, fast, before committing to a full build.
Productionize
Engineering the model into your platform properly — reliability, monitoring, and fallbacks included.
Monitor & improve
Ongoing tuning as your data and operation evolve.
Systems that work as one.
Brands running multiple systems that need to talk to each other.
Restaurant brands, franchisors and platforms running multiple systems — POS, delivery marketplaces, payments, loyalty, ERP — that need them to work as one.
Every new system adds another disconnected piece.
Every new delivery partner, payment provider or back-office tool adds another disconnected system. Menus drift out of sync, orders get lost between platforms, and reporting never quite adds up.
What you get
- One menu and one order stream across every channel and partner
- Clean, maintained integrations with delivery marketplaces, payments, ERP and legacy systems
- Fewer manual reconciliations and fewer orders falling through the cracks
- A single source of truth your reporting can actually trust
Sample engagements — What this looks like in practice
Delivery Marketplace Consolidation
Connected several delivery marketplaces into a single order stream for a multi-location brand, cutting missed and duplicate orders.
POS-to-ERP Integration
Built a maintained integration syncing POS sales data directly into a franchisor's ERP for daily reconciliation.
Loyalty & Payments Sync
Unified a loyalty platform with POS and payments so points and promotions worked consistently across every channel.
How we work — From tangled systems to one clean flow.
Map your systems
We map every system in play and how data currently — or should — flow between them.
Design the integration
A clear architecture for how systems connect, with failure handling built in from the start.
Build & test
Integrations built and tested against real order volume, not just happy-path demos.
Monitor & maintain
Ongoing monitoring so a broken integration gets caught before it costs you orders.
An engineering department that stays behind the curtain.
Agencies and consultancies who need engineering behind their brand.
Agencies, consultancies and platforms who need a reliable engineering team delivering to their clients under their own name.
Client work is unpredictable. Hiring isn't.
You need engineering capacity you can flex up or down without the overhead of hiring, and a partner who won't show up in front of your client.
What you get
- A full engineering department — architecture, delivery, QA and management — working under your brand
- Capacity that flexes with your pipeline, without a hiring or firing cycle
- No client-facing presence unless you want one — you stay the front door
- Consistent delivery quality your clients don't have to know is outsourced
Sample engagements — What this looks like in practice
Agency Delivery Capacity
A two-engineer pod delivering a client's platform rebuild entirely under the agency's own brand and account management.
Consultancy Overflow Team
Flexed a consultancy's delivery capacity up for a six-month engagement spike without them running a single interview.
Full Department for a Product Studio
Ran as the studio's engineering department across concurrent client projects, invisible to their clients.
