OpenALaCarte Ltd

IT solutions to elevate your business

We build software, and we keep it running. Our hospitality platform is the proof — a complete production system we designed, built and still operate ourselves. We can do the same in your industry.

What we do

Five ways we work with you

Custom software

Web apps, customer portals and internal tools built around how your business actually works — instead of bending your business to fit someone else's product.

Hospitality platform

OpenALaCarte itself: table orders and QR menus, hotel stays and front desk, venue bookings and event orders, kitchen displays, costed recipes and live stock. Live, and ours end to end.

White label

Our platform under your brand, your colours and your own domain. You sell it as yours; we keep it running underneath.

Integrations & automation

Payments, tills, suppliers, accounting — anything with an API. We connect the systems you already pay for so they stop being islands.

Hosting, support & care

Servers, monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers. Software is not finished the day it ships, and the years after launch are where most of it is won or lost.

Why us

We didn't learn this on your project

Most shops build it and hand it over. We built ours and still run it, so what we're showing you isn't a slide deck — it's a system that has to work tomorrow morning.

Built end to end

Database, backend, an installable web app, admin, payments and infrastructure. One team, no hand-offs, and nobody saying that part belongs to another vendor.

Four languages from day one

The platform ships in English, French, Spanish and German, with translation completeness enforced by tests rather than good intentions.

Money paths are built, not mocked

Card payments, split bills, deposits, refunds and payouts run on Stripe Connect. Money is the part of a system you cannot fake your way through.

We run our own infrastructure

Our own servers, our own containers, our own deployments and our own monitoring. When something breaks at nine in the evening, it's us who gets up.

How it works

From an idea to something running

1

Talk

Tell us the problem in your own words. No specification needed. We'll say honestly if software isn't the right answer.

2

Scope

We write down what gets built, what it costs and when it lands — before any code, and before any invoice.

3

Build

You see it working early and often, not at the end. Change your mind while changing it is still cheap.

4

Run

We host it, watch it, fix it and keep improving it — or hand it over with the keys and the documentation.

What it costs

You get a number before any work starts

Every project is quoted fixed-price after one scoping conversation. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, and no charge for the conversation.

Website

from £1,500

Design, build, content and launch on your own domain.

Custom software

from £6,000

Web apps, portals and internal tools built to your process.

Hosting & support

£60/month

Servers, monitoring, backups, updates and someone who answers.

Indicative starting points, not a quote — the number you get is fixed and specific to your project.

Have an idea? Let's make it real.

One conversation, no charge and no obligation. If we're not the right people to build it, we'll tell you, and point you at someone who is.
