The client is a product company and a major player in the point of sale domain, having already released several POS-platforms, Back of House management systems, data management systems and a set of web applications (designed to create corporate websites), widely used in the USA by QSR and TSR. Xenial services 19% of the restaurant POS market - more than 135,000 food service sites for some of the biggest names in fast casual dining in the USA and actively penetrating the European market (the UK and Spain in particular).

We are building a product suite that covers the full cycle of restaurant operations, including in-store POS platform, cloud-based data management, systems for restaurant internal operations (inventory, scheduling, payroll), online ordering, complex analytics solutions, and reporting tools. Hence, we have several teams for different product components in one account.
