Built by operators, for operators.

Lodat is a small team of operators and engineers building tools for businesses that depend on real-world venues — restaurants, bars, cafés, event spaces.

We started by running our own venue, GOOOD in Mansfield. We hated being squeezed by tech that nickel-and-dimed us on covers, took commission on orders we'd already worked hard to win, locked us into hardware we didn't need, and delivered support that ranged from slow to non-existent.

So we built VenueOS as the platform we wanted: one subscription, every surface a venue actually needs, and no commission. Independent operators get the same tooling that chains have — without the chain-store overheads.

We're not a marketplace. We don't take a cut of your customers. We sell software, the same way SaaS used to.

If you're an operator and want to talk shop — about hospitality, about the platform, about what's missing — we'd genuinely love to hear from you.
