Spice brand and SaaS platform for restaurant kitchens
Glückliche Gäste operates a dual-track business: a spice and seasoning product line, and GGBios, a web and mobile application for professional kitchens. The tech stack (Kubernetes, React Native, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Azure) reflects a multi-platform SaaS operation with infrastructure-heavy demands. Current hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering (6 roles) and security (2 roles), while active projects center on Kubernetes cluster operations, ISO/IEC 27018 compliance, and AI-driven features — indicating a shift toward regulated, security-first SaaS delivery.
