Full Stack Breakfast

One morning, four connected systems, and a clear answer to the question most operators never get: what tech do I actually need — and how does it fit together?

The Stack, Brought To You By

Most venues build their tech one app at a time

Running a hospo business has never been more complex. Between managing costs, capturing demand and keeping guests coming back, most operators are piecing together their tech as they go.

The Full Stack Breakfast is a different kind of morning. Hosted by food journalist and restaurateur Dani Valent, this intimate event brings together four of Australia’s best hospo tech platforms — Lightspeed, Loaded, SevenRooms and HungryHungry to answer the question you’ve probably never had answered clearly:

What tech does a modern venue actually need, and how does it all fit together?

The stack, one layer at a time

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.
