Costs keep climbing, service is stretched, and by month end you’re still guessing where the money went. Add a handful of systems that don’t talk to each other, and it’s no wonder the numbers feel out of reach.
In one hour, four hospitality tech partners – Loaded, Lightspeed, HungryHungry and SevenRoons show how busy venues are getting on top of it, with practical tools you can put to work straight away. Bring your questions; there’s time for live Q&A at the end.
Four platforms, each covering a different part of running the floor.
LAYER 01 · INVENTORY & P&L
Loaded
Real-time cost of goods, food cost and margin visibility. Know whether you're profitable before the month ends, not after.
Layer 02 · Reservations & Guest Data
SevenRooms
Reservations, waitlists and table management, with a guest profile building behind every booking — so you know who's coming, what they spend and how to bring them back.
LAYER 03 · AT-TABLE ORDERING
HungryHungry
QR ordering and payment at the table. Orders go straight to the kitchen with no double handling.
LAYER 04 · POS & OPERATIONS
Lightspeed
The platform everything connects to — floor management, ordering, inventory and reporting in one place.
