Rosters, clock-ins, hiring, gift vouchers and food-safety records — built by a general manager who needed them at 6am. Six venues run on them today. Most of it is free, and the limits are published up front.
Six venues use these tools every day. Four are mine; two are paying clients. Nothing here is a pitch deck — it's what I use to open the doors.
One staff list. Five working apps.
Sign up once and your whole team is in — tenant, sites and staff entered a single time. Switch on an app and it finds your people already there: no re-typing, no second login, no export-and-import. Take one, take the lot, or add the rest whenever you're ready. One onboarding serves them all.
The free front door. Build the roster, staff clock in on a tablet by the door, and the timesheet reconciles the clocks against the roster with your break rules applied — then exports a payroll CSV your accountant will accept. It works offline and syncs later, because the wifi in a cellar corridor always drops eventually and nobody should lose a shift over it.
Staff request time off, managers approve or decline, and conflict rules stop you signing off two chefs on the same week. Built into Time as its leave engine — or run it on its own if the planner is all you want, and switch the rest of Time on later without re-entering a soul.
Issue a contract, get it signed, and handle a leaver in one action — access revoked, record closed, statement of service sent. Our own signing flow, so there's no per-envelope fee bleeding out every time someone joins or goes. The staff are already in from Time, so a new starter's contract is a click, not a form filled in twice.
Food-safety checks, temperature logs and a nightly sign-off, on the same tablet by the door. Running in our own kitchen and rolling out wider — it replaced software that cost €120 a month and did less. Being hardened on our own venues before it's opened to yours; that's what the "in trial" tag means.
Courses staff work through on their phones, quizzes at the end, and certificates that expire and remind you before they do — food-safety levels, induction, whatever needs signing off. Built and in testing; it'll say "live" here the day real staff have completed a course, not before.
Buy one, or the lot. Adding an app later never means re-entering your staff — tell me what you need and I'll say what's ready.
Two more, live today, that stand on their own.
Post a job, take applications through your own careers page, and manage every applicant in one pipeline. Built because agency fees and job-board credits are a tax on an industry that hires constantly and cheaply.
Sell gift vouchers from your own site. The customer pays by card, the money lands in your Stripe account the same as any other sale, and your staff redeem by scanning a QR at the till — no holding your cash for a month.
Order books with price-change alerts, financial dashboards joining sales, wages and invoices, supplier ordering — the tools that started all this, running six venues every day. They're not for sale yet; they're the reason to trust the ones that are.
Published here on day one, before there's anyone to spring it on. If the price ever moves, you'll have read about it here first — that's the whole point of writing it down this early.
Fifty hand-picked venues, free forever, up to 100 staff. Written into the terms, not promised in an email. You help shape it; that's the deal.
Free forever, for anyone, up to 20 staff. No card, no trial clock counting down, nothing to cancel. Most small venues never leave this rung.
Bigger groups, flat pricing by size — roughly €19 / €39 / €79, and only if venues actually ask for it. Never per-head: charging per person punishes you for hiring.
“I've been the venue that got the renewal email.”
€120 a month for food-safety software that was, when you looked at it honestly, a form and a database. Clock-in software priced per head — which meant every time I hired a Saturday kid, my software bill went up.
I built replacements because I was already paying for the originals and could finally see what they actually were. Then something I didn't expect: the replacements were better. Not because I'm a better engineer — I'm not an engineer at all — but because I was the one using them at 6am, and I couldn't ship myself a bad workflow and go home.
That's the entire pitch. Every other hospitality tool is built by people who have read about your job.
The tools above cover the problems every venue has. If you've got one they don't, I take on a small number of custom builds — the same way these started.
The thing your venue does that no product covers. Ordering, bookings, comps, reporting, whatever it is. Fixed scope, agreed before anything starts.
Brand books, menus, posters, and social that gets scheduled and actually posts. Built for venues that can't keep a designer on staff.
Sites that load fast, work on a phone, and take bookings or voucher sales without renting a platform to do it.

General Manager · founder of Hospitech Solutions Ltd
There's no account manager and no ticket queue — there's me. That's the trade: you get the person who built the thing and who works your job, and in exchange you're dealing with one person's calendar. For most venues that's a better deal than a support tier. It's worth knowing up front either way.
Hospitech Solutions Ltd is a separate company from the venues I run. If you sign up, you're a customer of a software company — not a favour being done between friends of a pub.
