Access Hospitality Ireland

What Access Hospitality Ireland does

Access Hospitality Ireland is the Irish operating subsidiary of The Access Group, a UK-headquartered private business software provider. Founded in 2015 and based in Dublin (with firmographic location listed as Oranmore, County Galway), the company sells a connected, cloud-based software suite for hospitality operators — bars, restaurants, hotels, pubs, cafes, and multi-site hospitality groups — across Ireland. The company reports deployment across more than 2,250 hospitality sites in the Irish market, supported by a 12-person local team that works alongside The Access Group's broader organization of 1,000+ professionals.

The product portfolio comprises core modules — Access EPoS (cloud electronic point of sale with offline resilience), Bookings and Reservations Software, Hospitality CRM, Staff Scheduling/Rostering, and Access Procure Wizard (purchase-to-pay and procurement control) — supplemented by add-on modules including a hospitality-specific Learning Management System, digital Checklists, and Property Maintenance software. All modules are designed to interoperate as an end-to-end platform, with Access Evo serving as the overarching cloud platform brand. The company also maintains a strategic partnership with DesignMyNight.com for guest discovery and booking integration.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based software licensing for the connected hospitality suite, supplemented by professional services for implementation, training, and consulting delivered through The Access Group's professional services organization. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, with annual billing cadence and sales-led engagement via demo requests and contact forms. The go-to-market is direct sales, targeting both enterprise multi-site operators (e.g., Mount Charles, Choice Hotel Group, Neylons Facility Management, Windward Management) and SMB independents, with distribution concentrated in a single domestic market (Ireland) while leveraging the parent's global footprint across the UK, Australia/New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States.
