Point-of-sale and ordering platform for restaurants and hospitality
Kayana builds ordering and payment infrastructure for restaurants—combining self-service kiosks, mobile apps, and in-person terminals. The tech stack is mobile-first (Flutter, Kotlin, iOS/Android) backed by Spring microservices and AWS, with active investment in compliance frameworks and global SLA systems. Engineering and sales hiring are accelerating in parallel across UK, India, UAE, and Colombia, while pain points around PCI DSS compliance and payment reliability suggest an organization scaling toward regulated, multi-market operations.
