About Serv.
The modern Operating System that frees restaurants from legacy, clunky software.
Our Story
It all started in 2023 in a small, bustling kitchen in Chicago, Illinois (our current HQ). Our founders, Jane Doe and John Smith, were running a high-volume diner and feeling the daily friction of managing a restaurant. For decades, the hospitality industry has been held back by fragmented, outdated management tools. Operators were forced to glue together clunky legacy point-of-sale terminals, manual inventory spreadsheets, and disjointed kitchen displays.
Jane, a former tech executive turned restaurateur, and John, a Michelin-trained chef, realized that to scale their business, they needed a system that actually worked. They needed an all-in-one platform that was intuitive, reliable, and deeply understood the fast-paced nature of the hospitality industry. When they couldn't find one on the market, they decided to build it themselves. That's how Serv. was born.
The Team Behind Serv.
Today, the Serv. team is composed of passionate engineers, designers, and former restaurant operators who understand the unique challenges of the industry.
- Jane Doe, CEO & Co-founder: With over 15 years in software engineering and 5 years in hospitality management, Jane leads our overall vision and strategy, ensuring we stay true to our mission of empowering operators.
- John Smith, CPO & Co-founder: John brings an operator's empathy to our product design. He ensures that every button, screen, and workflow in the Serv. ecosystem makes sense for the people standing on the floor for 12 hours a day.
- Michael Johnson, CTO: Michael secures our infrastructure, building a highly available, robust cloud architecture that scales from single-location cafes to massive international franchises.
A New Standard Built for Scale
We believe that software should be invisible - powering the background while the front-of-house focuses on hospitality. Serv. is engineered to be resilient, lightning-fast, and intuitively designed. But beyond design, we know that trust is paramount in this industry.
That is why our platform is built on enterprise-grade infrastructure. We are proud to be fully PCI-DSS compliant, ensuring that all payment processing and sensitive customer data is handled with the highest level of encryption and security available. Whether you are processing a hundred transactions a day or a hundred thousand, your restaurant's data is safe with us. From independent cafes in Chicago to global franchises, we provide the secure, unified operating system that grows with your vision.
