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

Your data, always safe in the cloud.

Every sale, table, and reservation is backed up the instant it happens and syncs live to every device. Check your numbers from home, run the back office from any browser, and never lose a check to a dead tablet.

Principle 5

AI does the busywork.

Chequo is AI-native. Our software is built by a small team working alongside a fleet of AI agents, your menu translates into 30+ languages with AI, and you run the whole back office just by chatting with it. We lean on AI so you spend less time on admin and more with your guests.
