Empowering restaurants with clarity, efficiency, and growth through intelligent design.

We build the operating system for the modern table.

Guava exists to strip away the complexity of running a restaurant. We believe that when technology is invisible, hospitality can shine. Our mission is to provide a seamless, connected ecosystem that turns chaos into clarity.

Core Values

The principles that guide every pixel we design.

Simplicity

We distill complexity into clarity. If it's not intuitive, it's not finished.

Innovation

We don't just follow trends; we set the standard for what's next in hospitality.

Reliability

Trust is our currency. Our systems are built to perform when it matters most.

Empathy

We build for humans first. Understanding the restaurateur is at our core.
