Built in a Restaurant Kitchen
TaplyPOS started because existing POS systems were too expensive, too cloud-dependent, and too rigid. We built what restaurants actually needed.
It Started with Spice Garden
In 2023, we were building a POS system for Spice Garden, an authentic Indian restaurant in Nashville. Their existing system cost over $300/month, required constant internet, and crashed during busy weekend rushes.
We built TaplyPOS to solve exactly that. Offline-first — because restaurant Wi-Fi is unreliable. No monthly fees — because restaurant margins are tight. iPad + iPhone — because every restaurant already has Apple devices.
What started as a single-restaurant solution quickly became something bigger: a complete platform that any restaurant could use, customise, and own.
