RESTAURANT SOFTWARE
Restaurant Software Built Around Daily Service
STM FoodHub is developing a connected platform for independent restaurants, cafes and takeaway businesses. The software is designed to bring ordering, menu management, reservations and daily operations into one working environment.
Platform in development. Enquiry registration is not yet open.
Built with independent hospitality in mindMenus / Orders / Reservations / Operations
A MORE CONNECTED WORKING DAY
One platform for the work behind restaurant service
A change to your menu should carry through to your ordering. A reservation should give your team the context they need. And your restaurant records should be easy to find when service gets busy.
We are bringing these everyday tasks together, so independent businesses can spend less time moving between systems and more time looking after their guests.
