Pye

What Pye does

Pye (legal entity: Pye Tech LLC) is a US-based designer, manufacturer, and distributor of self-service ordering kiosks for quick-service restaurants, convenience stores, and retail environments. Founded in 2019 by Jègil Dugger and headquartered in Hoover, Alabama, the company sells a hardware portfolio under multiple sub-brands: the Beignet wall-mount unit, the Crème family (Mini Countertop, Mini with Stand, Free Standing, Deluxe Cash, and Lite variants), the Èclair smart cash recycler, and the Canelé wireless tableside tablet. All kiosks run Pye's proprietary Android-based software and integrate with more than a dozen major restaurant POS platforms (including SkyTab/Shift4, Restaurant Manager, Oracle Micros, Lightspeed, and Lavu). A signature differentiator is dual cash-and-card acceptance via an integrated cash recycler with 99% counterfeit detection, addressing the unbanked and cash-preferring customer base that competing card-only kiosks exclude.

The business operates a kiosk-as-a-service subscription model (monthly fee with no upfront hardware cost, including lifetime warranty, software, menu setup, installation, multi-language support, and tech support), supplemented by one-time hardware sales (e.g., Canelé at $465 per unit), per-adjustment professional services, and a T-Mobile cellular data add-on ($15/month for 2GB). Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise sales, a dealer/reseller program, a referral partner program, and a Shift4 SkyTab Marketplace integration that exposes Pye to tens of thousands of restaurants. Named flagship customers include Dunkin' Donuts at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment and Burnin' Mouth Nashville Hot Chicken, alongside SMB accounts such as Melao Bakery.

Pye is privately held and founder-led, with no parent company and no disclosed institutional investors aside from a $100,000 gener8tor investment in September 2024 and a subsequent ~$595,000 round in January 2026. The company employs 11–50 people, distributes nationwide in the US and into Canada, and has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external funding beyond these two rounds. Revenue, ARR, and unit shipment figures are not publicly disclosed.
