What ClevaQ does
ClevaQ (legally Buzz International Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited company governed under New South Wales law) is a B2B hospitality technology vendor that operates a cloud-based ordering and payments platform for Australian venues. The platform unifies point-of-sale, loyalty, gaming-machine (EGM), and property-management workflows through a single web-accessible (QR-code-driven, no app download) guest interface, with distinct modules for at-table order and pay, membership and loyalty, delivery and pick-up, the clevaQ Bridge in-seat EGM ordering add-on, and the clevaQ Amigo staff mobile ordering and payment device built around Stripe Reader S700 hardware. The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting membership clubs, pubs and bars, hotels and resorts, restaurants and cafes, golf and recreation clubs, and casinos and stadiums, with a quoted, sales-led pricing model and ~30 named venue customers visible on its website.
ClevaQ monetizes primarily through a per-transaction Service Fee charged to the guest placing the order, with the fee varying by basket size and explicitly not varying by card type; pricing tiers and rates are not publicly disclosed. The company has assembled an integration catalog spanning ~30 POS systems (including Shiji, Oracle Micros, Agilysys, Square, SwiftPOS, Idealpos, Impos, H&L, Doshii), ~8 gaming loyalty and EGM systems (Aristocrat, IGT, Light & Wonder, Konami, eBet, MAX, Odyssey, Qantum, Zen Global), and ~4 property-management systems (Mews, RMS, Oracle Opera, Like Magic), alongside payments via Stripe and delivery integrations with DoorDash and Uber. The platform is positioned as 'agnostic' to incumbent venue technology stacks, embedding via integration rather than displacement, with clevaQ Bridge's EGM-touchscreen ordering described as a differentiating capability in the Australian market.
The business is founder-led by Paul Pisani (Founder and Managing Director) with no disclosed external funding, no M&A history, no institutional investors, and no public listing. Operating geography is restricted to Australia with no global expansion disclosed, despite partner integrations with several globally distributed hospitality technology vendors. The company's most recently disclosed strategic action was the April 2025 deployment of clevaQ Bridge at Drummoyne Sailing Club.

ClevaQ competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- me&u: Australian mobile ordering platform for hospitality venues offering QR-code ordering, payments, and loyalty. Operates in the same verticals as ClevaQ (clubs, pubs, hotels, restaurants) with comparable transaction-based pricing and a similar integration-light guest experience.
- Olo: US-based SaaS provider of digital ordering, delivery, and loyalty for restaurant chains. Highly comparable product surface (branded ordering, loyalty, delivery integrations) with a comparable B2B enterprise sales motion targeting multi-unit operators.
- Mr Yum: Australian-headquartered QR-code ordering and payments platform serving hospitality venues with at-table, kiosk, and mobile ordering. Closest direct competitor to ClevaQ in the Australian market with overlapping product modules and customer segments (pubs, clubs, hotels).
- ChowNow: Direct online ordering platform for independent restaurants, providing branded ordering, delivery integrations, and loyalty without forcing a POS replacement. Closely aligned to ClevaQ's at-table order & pay and delivery modules in terms of positioning.
- SevenRooms: Restaurant CRM, loyalty, marketing, and ordering platform serving hotels, restaurants, and nightlife venues globally. Comparable in the membership/loyalty and guest engagement layer that ClevaQ also emphasises, especially for venues with repeat guest programmes.
Others
- Doshii: Australian hospitality API platform that connects POS, ordering, loyalty, and reservation systems for venues. Listed as a ClevaQ integration partner, making it an ecosystem enabler rather than a direct ordering competitor.
Broad incumbents
- Toast: US restaurant technology platform combining POS, online ordering, delivery, payments, and loyalty. Offers a comparable end-to-end stack for hospitality operators and represents a long-term competitive threat if it expands deeper into Australian clubs and hotels.
- Lightspeed Restaurant: Global commerce platform with a strong restaurant and hospitality POS offering, including ordering and payments. Competes in the same venues as ClevaQ but as a broader POS suite rather than a specialised ordering overlay.
- Oracle MICROS: Enterprise hospitality technology suite (POS, PMS, loyalty) widely used in hotels and resorts. While ClevaQ integrates with Oracle MICROS, Oracle's broader portfolio positions it as a broad incumbent that competes for the same venue technology budget.
- Square (Block): Payments and POS platform with built-in restaurant ordering, loyalty, and online ordering capabilities. ClevaQ lists Square as an integration partner but Square's native suite also competes directly with ClevaQ's ordering and payments modules.
