Waitr didn't start in a boardroom. It started with three friends, one frustrating dinner, and a simple question — why is this so hard?
RKBS, Javeed and Jeshwanth had known each other for years. One evening at a busy café, they waited ages for a menu, longer to order, and longer still to pay — watching a great restaurant lose its rhythm to clunky, disconnected tools. They left thinking the same thing: this should take seconds, not a struggle.
The more owners they spoke to, the clearer it got. A POS here, a loyalty app there, a separate agency for marketing, another for reviews — none of them talking to each other. Great food was getting lost behind broken operations and zero growth support.
Scan, order, pay — in seconds. And behind it, everything a restaurant needs to grow: loyalty, offers, the kitchen flow, reviews on autopilot, even monthly marketing videos. Not just another POS — a growth engine that works while the owner runs their kitchen.
They built the first version on nights and weekends, then put a QR on the tables of a single neighbourhood café. Guests loved how fast it was. The owner loved the repeat visits and the reviews rolling in. That was the moment Waitr became real.
Today Waitr is on a mission to make great restaurants impossible to miss — bundling software, marketing and reviews into one engine, so any café or restaurant can grow without hiring an agency, a marketer and a developer.
We didn't want to build another POS. We wanted to build the growth team every restaurant wishes it had.
