About Us

What is Restaurant Software?
Restaurants and other merchants use various software systems such as Point of Sale (POS), Reservations, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Payments, Inventory, Staffing, and the list goes on. These systems all need to speak to each other which they frequently don’t. It’s a mess, and we are fixing it.
From buying a croissant at a cafe to having dinner with friends, it’s a €4 Trillion+ global market and a critical part of everyday life in today's economy.

What We Do
Tebi is an all-in-one hospitality platform consolidating essential business tools into a single elegant solution. The hospitality industry suffers from oversubscription, with independent business owners juggling 10+ separate subscriptions just to operate effectively. We're simplifying operations so owners can focus on what they do best: serving customers.
Tebi OS brings together everything hospitality businesses need: Point of Sale, Reservations, Payments, Kitchen Display Systems, QR Ordering, Takeaway, Inventory, and Multi-location reporting - all seamlessly integrated. Unlike traditional setups where systems fail to communicate, Tebi ensures all components work flawlessly together. We've transformed a fragmented technology stack into one cohesive system that works for restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries, nightclubs, and venues of all sizes.
