Depnos
Detailed presentation

Depnos is an AI-powered platform for hospitality businesses that transforms the traditional menu into an intelligent sales and service tool. Through an interactive, multilingual digital menu, guests can discover products, order, pay, and tip directly from their smartphones. At the same time, AI-powered features generate personalized pairings, cross-selling opportunities, and targeted promotions designed to increase guest spending. Through advanced analytics, Depnos transforms ordering and customer data into actionable insights, enabling hospitality businesses to increase revenue, improve the guest experience, streamline their operations, and make smarter, data-driven business decisions from a single integrated platform.

The problem

Hospitality businesses operate in an environment of rising costs, staff shortages, and increasing guest expectations, while much of the ordering experience remains inefficient and fragmented. Most digital menus function primarily as electronic catalogues, without meaningfully leveraging data and Artificial Intelligence to drive additional sales. At the same time, ordering, payments, promotions, reviews, and analytics are often provided through separate systems, creating unnecessary complexity for operators. Traditional upselling also depends heavily on staff availability, experience, and consistency, meaning valuable revenue opportunities are frequently missed.

Depnos addresses this gap by combining the digital menu experience with ordering, payments, AI-powered upselling, and actionable analytics within a single platform. This enables hospitality businesses to increase average order value, automate key parts of the guest journey, reduce operational friction, and deliver a faster, more personalized and data-driven customer experience.

Our proposal

Depnos provides an integrated AI-powered SaaS platform that transforms the digital menu from a simple catalogue into an active sales, service, and decision-making tool. Guests access an interactive, multilingual menu through a QR code, where they can select products, order, pay, split the bill, and tip directly from their smartphones.

Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence leverages menu content and data to recommend relevant pairings, cross-selling opportunities, and targeted promotions, creating additional revenue opportunities. The platform consolidates ordering and behavioral data into a unified analytics dashboard, providing owners with actionable insights for better decision-making. With streamlined onboarding, Photo-to-Menu functionality, and integrations with POS and payment systems, Depnos reduces technological complexity for hospitality operators. The result is a single, scalable solution that helps businesses increase revenue, improve operational efficiency, better understand customer behavior, and deliver a faster, more personalized guest experience.
