Choosing the Right Tech Stack for Your Hospitality Business
If you're running a hospitality business, you've probably heard the term "tech stack" thrown around. But what exactly is it, and why should you care? Let's break it down in plain English and show you how to make technology work for your business, not against it.
What's a Tech Stack, Really?
Think of a tech stack like your kitchen equipment - each piece has its job, but they all need to work together to create a great meal. In tech terms, it's the collection of software and tools that power your business operations. Just as you wouldn't try to run a kitchen with just a microwave, you shouldn't run your business with disconnected pieces of software.
A proper tech stack includes everything from your POS system to your operations management platform, all working together to make your life easier and your business more profitable.
The Must-Have Components
1. POS System
This is your till, but smarter. It should:
Process payments (obviously)
Track sales in real-time
Manage your menu
Handle table service
Give you useful reports
2. Operations Management Platform
This is where modern hospitality businesses need more than just scheduling. You need a system that:
Handles staff scheduling and attendance
Manages your entire operation
Connects all your systems
Provides real-time business insights
Controls costs across the board
Ensures compliance at every level
3. Stock Management
Keep track of what's coming in and going out:
Inventory tracking
Order management
Waste monitoring
Cost control
4. Customer Management
Keep your guests coming back:
Booking system
Customer database
Loyalty programmes
Review management
5. Online Ordering
Because everyone expects it now:
Website ordering
Delivery integration
Mobile app support
And that's just the basics...
