The Spark

Cameron’s family frustrations with expensive, fragmented restaurant software lit the fuse for something new. What started as a casual conversation quickly became the seed of a bigger vision.

Thinking bigger than one kitchen

From Idea to Blueprint

After some reflection, Arran returned with a plan: not just a solution for a handful of restaurants, but a platform for the entire hospitality industry.

Starting with the essentials

The First Focus, Table Booking

The journey began with the idea of building a booking system to rival OpenTable and ResDiary but research showed the market lacked a solution that truly worked for everyone.

2022

Created with restaurateurs, not just for them

Built Together

Rather than guessing, the team co-created the platform alongside restaurant owners, gathering constant feedback to ensure it solved real-world challenges.

2022

More than just bookings

Beyond Expectations

What began as a single feature blossomed into a feature-rich platform, far beyond the original vision, designed to remove compromises and make operations easier for every kind of restaurant.

2023

Powerful, but easy to use

Simplicity at the Core

Every detail was built to be streamlined and intuitive, so restaurants big and small can get started quickly without months of training or setup.

2025

Shaped by the industry, built for the industry

Ready for Launch

With testing complete, support systems in place, and one last round of input from hospitality owners, the team is gearing up to launch a platform shaped by the very people it serves.
