The bench behind Lodat.

Founder-led, operator-driven, engineering-first. The same team ships across all three products.

Founder.

Lodat is founder-led by an operator who runs a real hospitality venue and writes the software it depends on. The founder thesis is straightforward: the best operating software is built by people who have to live with the consequences of shipping it. Every decision in this company passes through that filter.

Engineering bench.

One team ships across VenueOS, Keptable and CoreShift. We hire generalists who can think across the stack: Postgres schema, Stripe webhook safety, audit-trail design, Apple-clean UX. They care about what shipping into production actually feels like for the operator on the other side.

Customer-zero pattern.

Every product has a customer-zero: a venue, a pilot operator, or the founder’s own life. That customer runs the software before any external buyer touches it. If a product can’t survive customer-zero, it doesn’t leave the bench.

We're hiring.

If you want to write software that lives in real operations from day one (kitchens, salons, clinics, lives), Lodat is the right bench. We're looking for senior engineers, product designers, and one product-minded founding hire across the operations of the company itself.
