Edinburgh hospitality tech firm increases portfolio by 290%

Edinburgh based hospitality technology firm, ePOS Hybrid, has increased its client portfolio by more than 290% seeing usage in its product rise by 300% last year.

The firm – which offers a suite of fully connected point-of-sale offerings to a wide range of takeaways, bars, restaurants and other hospitality businesses across the world.

Since its launch in January 2020, ePOS Hybrid’s tech has processed in excess of £78m in transactions and more than six million people have used the firm’s products to buy food or drink.

It is now preparing for another round of investor funding to support its future expansion plans.

Managers can receive in-depth reports and analysis which can track stock and food waste to reservations and capacity.

Epos also offers hospitality businesses the option to create fully branded websites and mobile apps by users and then launched by themselves.

Founder and chief executive at ePOS Hybrid, Bhas Kalangi, said: “The growth of Epos Hybrid over the last 18 months can only be described as exponential – and we’re already on target to dwarf this growth in 2022.

“Despite the Covid-related challenges many businesses have faced over the last 18 months, demand for our products from customers in the hospitality sector have risen by more than 290%.

“This has been fuelled by increased demand from hospitality operators for transformative technologies which help to streamline their business and to meet head-on the changes in consumer trends and behaviour such as the massive switch to online ordering and home delivery.

“Operators have had to up their game and become much savvier in using technology to maintain their profit margins, in an environment where wholesale and staffing costs are rising and to meet the challenge of improving the customer experience. That is driving demand for our suite of integrated point-of-sale solutions.”
