Ninepeople,one room.

TablePilot is nine people across Lisbon, Melbourne and Montréal. We left the largest restaurant-tech companies to build something slower, warmer and drawn from the room itself.

(01)Studios

Lisbon

Our studio sits above a fourteen-seat roastery on Rua da Boavista. Every release is tested downstairs during the Saturday rush before it ships anywhere else.

Melbourne

The Fitzroy team shares a wall with some of the best filter coffee in the city. Two of them still pull shots on weekends, and the software is better for it.

(02)What we believe

01

Independents first

We will never sell to chains that treat cafés like franchises. Our customers know their regulars by name.

02

Software with atmosphere

Tools shape the rooms they live in. We build software that feels like the places it runs inside.

03

Honest defaults

No dark patterns, no forced upgrades, no data locked behind tiers. Every default is the one we would pick for a friend.

04

Small but exact

A team of nine. Each shipping week improves the working day of a real barista somewhere.
