The Lavu Story
How It Started
In 2010, our founders were sitting in a busy restaurant watching stressed staff, confused managers, and inefficient workflows, all caused by outdated systems.
So they built something better. Lavu was created for operators who want to save time, reduce costs, and grow profits with technology that actually works.
What started as a single iOS app now powers restaurants worldwide with solutions spanning front-of-house, back-of-house, inventory, labor, payments, and more.
As restaurants grew more complex, operators didn’t need more disconnected tools, they needed clarity.That’s why we built Marty: the intelligence engine that powers Lavu. Today, every Lavu product, from POS to payments is driven by Marty underneath.
Our Values
Strong partnerships start with honesty, transparency, and consistency.
Our goal is simple: give operators the tools, clarity, and support to thrive in an industry where margins are thin and pressure is high.
