Our Story

Big Tech Is Eating
Your Restaurant Alive.

We started RestroEase because we watched independent restaurants get squeezed dry by big tech. Delivery apps squeeze independent restaurants dry — taking 30% commissions, locking them into expensive hardware, and offering “solutions” that clearly weren't built by anyone who's ever worked a Friday night rush.

From Frustration to Solution

This isn't a Silicon Valley fantasy. This is a real story of real people fighting for real restaurants.

2024

The Breaking Point

Our founder watched friends and family struggle as their restaurants paid thousands in delivery app commissions. Profit margins were vanishing. He gathered requirements directly from restaurant owners — chefs, managers, and owners who knew exactly what was broken.

Late 2024

Building the Solution

Assembled a team of ex-restaurant managers and software engineers. Spent months in kitchens, at tills, and behind bars understanding real workflows. Built the first all-in-one platform from the ground up based on what owners actually asked for.

2025

Beta & Refinement

Launched a private beta with 25 restaurants across London. Iterated furiously based on real feedback — from QR ordering tweaks to kitchen display layouts. Every feature was battle-tested during actual service rushes.

2026

Official Launch

RestroEase officially launched to the public. Within months, hundreds of restaurants switched and started saving an average of £450/month each. The commission-free model proved what we always knew: restaurants thrive when they keep their profits.

2027 & Beyond

The Mission Expands

Expanding across the UK and into the EU. Our goal: put £100M back into independent restaurant owners' pockets by 2030. Building AI-powered tools for demand forecasting, smart inventory, and automated marketing.

What We Stand For

Principles Over Profits

We could have built another commission-based platform. We chose to build something better.

Restaurant-First

We don't answer to venture capitalists demanding growth at all costs. We answer to you. Every feature is built because a real restaurant asked for it.

Zero Commission Forever

We will never take a percentage of your sales. Flat fee, period. Your success is your success — not ours to tax.

Built by Restaurateurs

Our team includes former chefs, FOH managers, and restaurant owners. We speak your language because we've lived your problems.

Radical Simplicity

If it takes more than 2 minutes to learn, we failed. Restaurant tech should work like a good sous chef — invisible, reliable, and always one step ahead.

Built by People Who Get It

No MBAs in windowless offices. Just people who've worked in restaurants and know what you actually need.

Role

Founder & CEO

Former restaurant owner who watched 30% of his revenue disappear to delivery apps. Spent 6 months interviewing 200+ restaurant owners before writing a single line of code. Built RestroEase to fix what he lived through.

Role

Lead Software Engineer

5 years building payment systems and real-time data platforms. Previously led engineering teams at two fintech startups. Obsessed with making software that never crashes during a Friday night rush.

Role

Head Chef & Product Advisor

15 years running kitchens from gastropubs to fine dining. Knows exactly what happens when a KDS goes down at 8pm on a Saturday. Makes sure every feature works for the people actually using it.

Role

Restaurant Operations Lead

Former owner of two successful cafes in East London. Managed everything from inventory to staff rotas to tax returns. Brings the ground-level perspective that keeps us honest.

Role

Head of Growth

Helped scale three UK food brands from single locations to national chains. Knows how restaurants actually acquire customers — and how to do it without paying 30% to delivery apps.

Role

Customer Success Lead

Speaks to 20 restaurant owners a day. If there's a problem, she knows about it before you do. Her mission: make sure every restaurant on RestroEase feels like they have a dedicated tech team.

The RestroEase Difference

We Didn't Just Build Software.
We Built Justice.

Every restaurant that switches to RestroEase keeps an average of £450/month that used to go to delivery apps and disjointed software subscriptions. That's not a feature — that's your livelihood back in your hands.

One flat fee. No commissions. No surprises.
Setup in under 2 minutes on devices you already own.
POS, QR ordering, website, bookings, and kitchen display — unified.
Real humans for support, not chatbots reading from a script.

“I was paying 30% of my total sale to delivery apps totaling to £2,800 a month. With RestroEase, I pay flat nearly £20 per week. That difference paid for a new oven, hired a second chef, and finally started making money and own restaurant brand.”
