Tech partner for food and retail chains

dev.family is a tech partner for multi-location food businesses. We build ordering apps, loyalty, kiosks, demand forecasting and AI operations for restaurant groups and food retailers with 30–300 locations, and make them work across every brand, location and POS.


Who we work with



  • Multi-brand and franchise restaurant groups that need one view across brands, locations and POS systems

  • Bakery, food-to-go and regional grocery chains planning fresh production and orders

  • Convenience and liquor retail chains that want loyalty data tied to the POS

  • Food-tech and retail-tech vendors that need integrations built and maintained


What we build



  • Online ordering, mobile apps and kiosks on one backend
    Loyalty platforms and loyalty migration
    POS and delivery integrations, franchise reporting
    Demand forecasting and AI operations for food and retail


How we work
We build on top of your stack and don’t ask you to replace your POS. Assessment (2–3 weeks) gives you a working artifact and a clear estimate. Then we build the system and run it under an SLA. The code, models and connected data are yours.


Recent work



  • A loyalty app for a 211-store liquor retail chain. After the gamification release, average order value grew 10%.

  • Demand forecasting for a 600-store retail chain. In a pilot, on-shelf availability rose to 99.4% from 94.5%. Preliminary, before final acceptance.
