What is the Nova platform?

The Nova platform is an AI-native, end-to-end restaurant operating system. It unifies front-of-house (POS, KDS, handhelds, kiosk), back-of-house (inventory, recipes, prep), back-office (workforce, payroll, financials) and digital (mobile app, web ordering, loyalty, marketing) on a single data layer — with AI built into every layer.

The OS pitch

Restaurants don't need another POS. They need an operating system.

Every category-defining business of the last decade — Tesla, Amazon, Apple — won by building the vertically integrated operating system, not by selling the best individual tool. Nova is the same bet, applied to restaurants.

↗

End-to-end full-stack ERP

Front and back of house, kitchen, guest flow, workforce, inventory, financials and analytics — unified in one system.

⚡

AI at the core

Real restaurants on Nova

Every format. Every scale. One platform.

From a 1,100-location enterprise to a 1-location new opening — Nova adapts to where you are and where you're growing.

Quick service & drive-thru

Speed of service is a math problem. We solve it.

Voice AI takes drive-thru orders. Vision AI watches the lane. POS and KDS are sub-second synchronized. The result: shorter lines, fewer mis-rings, more cars through.

  • Voice AI drive-thru ordering 24/7
  • Vision AI lane monitoring and queue prediction
  • Real-time KDS routing across stations

Full service & fine dining

High-touch service that runs on data, not memory.

Handhelds at every station. Floor management that learns your covers. Guest profiles that remember preferences across every visit, server and location.

  • Tableside handheld with sub-second sync
  • Predictive cover and turn-time management
  • Guest history and preferences in one tap

Cafes, breweries, bars and new openings get the same AI-native platform the enterprise customers run on — without a six-month implementation. Update menus on the fly; add a new item every day.

  • Open in days, not months
  • Update menus in real time across every channel
  • Single dashboard from day one — even at one location
