chequo

About

We make the boring tools restaurants actually need.

Chequo is built in Florence, Italy by a small team that has spent years watching what restaurant software gets wrong: too many features nobody uses, not enough that work when service is at peak. We are doing the opposite.

Principle 1

Calm beats clever.

Software for the floor should feel like a clean kitchen pass — everything in its place, nothing extra. Our job is to remove cognitive load from people who are already doing emotional work.

Principle 2

Europe first.

Most POS products were built for US restaurants and translated. Chequo starts with Italian fiscalization, multilingual menus, and SEPA — they are core, not bolt-ons.

Principle 3

Cheap hardware, expensive design.

A €120 Android tablet should run service as smoothly as a €1,200 iPad. We optimize for the hardware operators actually buy.

Principle 4

Offline is not optional.

Restaurant wifi is unreliable. Power blips. Routers reboot. A POS that loses a check during dinner has failed at its only job.
