Software for hospitality groups, covers, staff and stock.
Augustova builds custom software and automation for UK hospitality groups and restaurants, covering booking and no-show recovery, staff scheduling across sites, supplier ordering and consolidated reporting. Margins are thin enough that small operational gains matter more than in most sectors.
01
Thin margins make small gains significant
A percentage point of labour cost or a handful of recovered covers a week is the difference between a good and a bad quarter in hospitality. That is unusual, and it means automation with a modest effect still pays back quickly.
It also means the sector is unusually badly served, because generic software is priced for businesses with fatter margins.

What we build for operators
03
Recruitment never stops here
Turnover in hospitality is structural rather than a failure, which means recruitment is a permanent process rather than an occasional project. Treating it as an always on pipeline rather than a series of emergencies is the single biggest operational change available.
Common questions
Do you replace our booking or till system?
No. Those are well served and staff know them. We build the layer that connects them and acts on what they record, which is where the gaps usually are.
Can scheduling really account for forecast demand?
Yes, using your own historical covers by day, service and season. Even a simple forecast beats scheduling from last week, which is what most sites do.
Is this affordable for a small group?
A focused build sits at the lower end of our range. With margins this thin, a modest labour or cover improvement usually covers it inside a year.
