Built for independent venue operators

Running a venue is hard enough.
Your software shouldn't
make it harder.

Hospotech Systems builds simple, affordable tools for independent cafés, restaurants, and bars. No enterprise contracts. No six-week setup. No features you'll never use.

Busy café with customers

You're checking three different apps just to know how yesterday went.

Your POS tells you what you sold. A spreadsheet tracks your labour. Your accountant's reports land six weeks late. None of it talks to each other — and none of it gives you the number you actually need: did we make money today?

The big software companies — Lightspeed, TouchBistro, MYOB — were built for hotel groups and franchise chains. You pay enterprise prices for features you'll never use, and spend three weeks getting set up before you see a single useful number.

Independent venues are a different thing entirely. You need tools that work the way your business actually works.

Every week without clear numbers costs you.

Labour running hot, food cost creeping up, margins shrinking — these things show up slowly. By the time they appear in a report, the damage is already done.

"The tools that exist were built for someone else's business. Independent operators have been making do with the leftovers."

You don't need an enterprise platform. You need a clear picture of where things stand, right now, without spending an hour pulling it together.

That's what Hospotech Systems builds.

We're building the tools
hospo operators actually need.

Each one starts as a focused solution to a specific problem. Where it makes sense, they'll connect. Right now, here's what's in the works.

I built this because I needed it myself.

I run Trader & Co., a specialty café in Yass, NSW. I also roast coffee under Six8 Coffee Roasters. For years I was cobbling together spreadsheets, POS dashboards, and late accountant reports just to understand whether we were making money.

I'm not a developer by training. I'm a venue operator who got frustrated enough to learn how to build tools — first for my own café, then for other operators in the same situation.

The tools I'm building are priced for small operators, built to set up in under an hour, and designed so a busy café owner at 7am can actually understand what they're looking at.

No investor money. No sales team. Just tools that work — built by someone who's opened the same café every morning for years and knows exactly what you're dealing with.
