Hospitality operations & systems — UK
One person accountable for the whole stack.
Most restaurants pay for five systems that don't talk to each other — and nobody owns the joins. I look at how you actually run, then design, connect and where needed build the systems around that. One login where it makes sense. Less admin. More time where it matters.
One governing principle: the software fits the operation — never the operation fitting the software.
The quiet bleed
Five subscriptions. Zero accountability.
A typical 60-seat UK restaurant pays around £574 a month in software subscriptions — each tool bought to fix one problem, none of them talking to the others.
And that's before delivery platforms take 14–35% commission per order on top.
The money isn't the worst of it. The worst of it is the re-keying, the mismatched numbers, and the fact that when something breaks between systems, it's nobody's job to fix it.
- EPOS~£79
- Inventory~£100
- Scheduling~£80
- Bookings~£250
- Payroll~£40
- Accounting~£25
Plus 14–35% delivery commission per order.
The paper, the re-keying, the numbers that never match — it doesn't have to run like this.
How I work
Fix the operation before the systems.
I'm David Martins. I've run restaurant operations myself and I build software — one of a small number of people who genuinely do both.
01
I watch a real service — how it actually runs, not how the manual says it should.
02
We fix the operation — the process problems — before any software touches it.
03
Then I design, connect and where needed build what's left.
I've stood where your team stands. The operation shapes the software.
The guarantee
“If I don't deliver what we scoped, you don't pay — and if you're not satisfied with the work in the first 30 days, you get your money back. No contracts. No hidden fees. No lock-in.”
