Opportunity summary

Fiest is a restaurant management software platform designed to streamline operations for food service businesses. It integrates several critical restaurant functions into a single interface, including point-of-sale (POS) processing, online ordering systems, and a kitchen display system (KDS) for order management. The platform also handles payments and provides business analytics. A key differentiator is its hardware-agnostic approach, meaning it does not require proprietary or locked-in hardware to function. This allows restaurant owners to use existing devices, reducing upfront costs and increasing operational flexibility.
