What Linga rOS does

LINGA is a cloud-based point-of-sale technology provider headquartered in Naples, Florida, founded in 2004 and operating as a privately held company with 51-100 employees. The company targets the hospitality and retail industries with an all-in-one restaurant operating system, serving what it describes as "thousands" of customers ranging from individual SMB restaurants and retail stores to multi-location franchise operators across the United States and internationally.

The core product is LINGA POS, a cloud-based restaurant operating system that serves as the central hub integrated with approximately 23 add-on modules including Kitchen Display System (KDS), Inventory Management, LINGA Pay (payment processing terminals), LINGA Driver (delivery tracking), LINGA Go (pay-at-the-table), Caller ID, Kiosk, Online Ordering, Table Management, Staff Scheduling, Customer Facing Display, Loyalty Programs, SMS Notifications, Queue Management, Marketing Campaigns, Call Center, Membership, Gift Cards, Feedback, and QR Pay (contactless payment). In March 2026, the company launched LINGA Mobile, a handheld POS form factor extending service beyond fixed counter stations. The platform supports restaurant concepts (full-service, quick-service, pizzerias, coffee shops, franchises, bubble tea, cigar lounges) and retail verticals (apparel, convenience stores, deli markets, electronics, specialty grocery, liquor stores, sporting goods, tobacco/vape shops).

LINGA operates a dual go-to-market motion combining self-serve website signup with direct enterprise sales engagement for larger franchise and multi-location deployments. Revenue derives from recurring software subscriptions on tiered Single Location and Multi Location annual plans, transaction-based payment processing fees through LINGA Pay, and additional add-on module subscriptions. The company distributes through its own digital channels and an Integration Hub partner/reseller ecosystem, and maintains third-party delivery service integrations for restaurant online ordering. Leadership includes James F. Brown as Chief Operations Officer and Daymion Phelps as Vice President of Sales.
