India’s restaurant technology sector gained momentum as Bengaluru-based Digitory Solutions Pvt Ltd secured $500,000 (about ₹4.55 crore) in a Pre-Series A round led by angel investor Tejas Paresh Lodaya. The capital injection is aimed at accelerating product development, enterprise onboarding and market expansion across the country.
Full-stack restaurant technology tailored to F&B operations
Founded in 2016 by Shivaprakash S Mogali, Digitory has developed an integrated platform for restaurants, cafes, breweries, bars and cloud kitchens. The company combines AI and machine-learning automation with POS and inventory management to simplify daily operational complexity in hospitality businesses.
Key capabilities include recipe management, kitchen display systems, QR-based ordering, workflow automation, cost-control dashboards and real-time performance analytics. These modules are designed to reduce food wastage, improve kitchen coordination and provide managers with actionable insights to enhance profitability.
Integrated front- and back-of-house workflow
Unlike standalone POS tools, Digitory offers a centralised, scalable ecosystem that links front-of-house and back-of-house functions. This approach helps multi-location brands maintain data consistency across outlets while enabling standardised operations and easier rollouts of new processes or menu changes.
Planned use of funds
The $500,000 will be deployed across technology infrastructure, research and development, and expansion of sales and distribution channels within India. A significant portion is earmarked for enterprise sales efforts to onboard larger restaurant groups and deepen relationships with national and regional chains.
Digitory also plans to intensify its automation roadmap, focusing on features that reduce manual intervention, minimise errors and improve operational visibility for managers and owners.
Client portfolio and market traction
Digitory already counts several prominent breweries and restaurant chains among its customers, including Toit, Bier Library, Biergarten, Pumphouse, BLR Brewing Co, 1522, Byg Brewski, Zero40 and Effingut Breweries. The company says its platform has supported operations serving more than 1.8 million end customers, reflecting growing adoption of tech-driven management tools in India’s food & beverage sector.
As consumer dining patterns evolve and competition intensifies, operators are increasingly turning to data-driven tools to optimise costs, streamline workflows and enhance guest experience — needs that integrated solutions like Digitory aim to address.
Investor signal and founder outlook
Angel investor Tejas Paresh Lodaya’s lead in the round underscores continued investor interest in niche SaaS platforms focused on India’s large hospitality market. Digitory’s founder and CEO, Shivaprakash S Mogali, said the product has been battle-tested in live restaurant environments and that the new funding will accelerate distribution and enterprise expansion.
The round highlights growing momentum for specialised operational-technology startups that target real-world challenges in India’s organised restaurant and cloud-kitchen segments.
