All-in-one POS and hospitality operations platform for Asia-Pacific venues
Liven operates a multi-surface hospitality platform spanning POS, inventory, loyalty, and kitchen management, deployed across 6,000+ venues in the Asia-Pacific. The tech stack reflects a maturing microservices-first architecture—Kafka, Argo Workflows, Kubernetes, and Apache Spark for event-driven workflows and data processing—while actively adopting React and Next.js for frontend modernization. Engineering-dominated hiring (27 roles open) paired with data scaling and frontend performance challenges suggest Liven is migrating from a monolithic legacy stack toward distributed systems to handle international expansion and large-scale rollouts.
Liven is a purpose-built hospitality operations platform serving restaurants, cafes, and bars across Australia, Southeast Asia, and the USA. The product integrates digital ordering, POS systems, kitchen management, inventory control, customer loyalty programs, and CRM into a single platform. The company operates at scale—6,000+ venues across the Asia-Pacific—and is executing large-scale rollouts in Singapore, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia while integrating acquired entities. Teams work across Melbourne headquarters, Indonesia, Australia, India, and Malaysia.
Liven's core stack includes Node.js, Nest.js, TypeScript, React, and Next.js on frontend; Python, Django, and PostgreSQL on backend; Kafka and Google Cloud Pub/Sub for event streaming; Kubernetes and Docker for infrastructure; and Airbyte, Prefect, dbt Cloud, Apache Spark, and DuckDB for data pipelines. Mobile apps use Swift and Flutter.
Liven is headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The company was founded in 2015 and operates across Australia, Southeast Asia, and the USA with engineering and support teams in Indonesia, India, and Malaysia.
