Your guests are already looking at a screen. Make it yours.

Between ordering and paying, guests spend most of their visit glancing at a phone. Formula puts your menu, your offers and your service in that moment instead.

Need something no one else offers? We’ll build it.

Formula runs on our own operating system, so we can build the app your venue needs. Five we could start from:

Formula on a hotel bedside table, showing a hotel app with in-room dining, housekeeping and wellness Formula showing an event check-in app with a guest pass, table number and the evening schedule Formula showing a spa booking app with time slots, preferences and a booking summary Formula showing a café loyalty app with a stamp card and a phone sign-up Formula showing a retail lookbook app with new-season products and fitting bookings

From first table to full floor in four weeks.

  1. Plan the floor.

    We walk your space and decide which tables, rooms or counters start first.

  2. Load your content.

    Menus, offers and branding are set up once and sent to every device.

  3. Run a pilot.

    One section, one shift. Your team sees real orders before anything scales.

  4. Roll out.

    Expand to the full floor and fine-tune around what guests actually use.

  • Nothing gets replaced. Your POS, PMS and payment provider stay exactly as they are.
  • What we need from you. Venue Wi-Fi, your current menu or rate sheet, and one point of contact.
  • Training. One short briefing. Formula is built for guests, not for staff to operate.

Two solutions, live and ready to deploy.

Questions owners ask us first

Does Formula replace my POS?

No. Formula works alongside your existing POS, PMS and payment provider. Nothing you use today needs to be replaced.

What do I need to get started?

Venue Wi-Fi, your current menu or rate sheet, and one person on site we can work with. We handle setup and content loading.

How long does setup take?

Most venues go from first table to full floor in about four weeks, starting with a small pilot section.

Can I start with just a few tables?

Yes. Start with the tables, rooms or counters that matter most, and add more when you’re ready.

Can you build features specific to my business?

Yes. We build custom apps on Formula OS, typically in 2 to 6 weeks, depending on what you need.

How is the device mounted?

The tablet lifts off its base on a magnetic quick-release. Desk, wall and counter kits are available.

How much does Formula cost?

Pricing depends on the number of devices and the solutions you need. Talk to our sales team for a quote built around your venue.
