In 2014, three tech entrepreneurs - Björn Wisnewski, Ronny Rohland and André Wenzel - noticed something troubling about the restaurant industry: while businesses were eager to embrace digital transformation, the available tools were fragmented, outdated, and ill-suited for the modern gastronomy landscape. Restaurants juggling multiple delivery platforms, struggling with inventory management, and losing revenue to inefficient processes needed a unified solution. So they built SIDES, a comprehensive cloud-based platform designed to be the digital operating system for restaurants across Europe.
What began as a response to industry pain points has evolved into a leading SaaS platform serving over 6,400 customers. SIDES now provides restaurants with an integrated ecosystem spanning POS systems, self-order terminals, webshop and mobile apps, delivery portal integrations, kitchen management, and driver coordination. From Quick Service Restaurants to ghost kitchens and franchise operations, successful brands like burgerme, Lanch, and Sushi Palace use SIDES daily to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and scale their businesses. The platform continues to expand across European markets, driven by the founding team's vision of bringing genuine digital innovation to the restaurant industry.
