What digitaste does

Digitaste (Digitaste BV) is a Belgian private limited company founded in 2023 that sells an all-in-one point-of-sale and digital ordering platform for hospitality businesses. The platform is built around a fully GKS 2.0-certified Kassasysteem (cash register) that integrates with certified hardware and the Belgian Fiscal Data Module (FDM) for compliance with the "witte kassa" legislation. Around the core POS, Digitaste has assembled a modular suite that includes an online ordering system with a 0% commission structure, self-service kiosks, table-side QR ordering, kitchen and menu displays, a call/pickup screen, a reservation system, a digital loyalty program, and a handheld order-taking device, all synchronized in real time through a single central management dashboard.

The company's technology is a cloud-connected POS ecosystem with proprietary software, certified GKS 2.0 hardware, and integration with TeamViewer for remote support. There are no disclosed AI/ML components, patents, or third-party technology alliances beyond TeamViewer. The firm is headquartered in Gent with a registered office in Ninove and operates exclusively within Belgium, with no disclosed international footprint.

Digitaste's revenue model combines annual recurring software licenses (with support billed at 15% of total license value, minimum €199/year), hardware sales, one-time installation and configuration services, and transaction-based revenue from its 0% commission online ordering channel. Pricing is quote-based rather than published. The go-to-market is sales-led through a Belgian website with sector pages, direct demo requests, WhatsApp-first support, and trade-show (beurs) presence. Customers to date are SMB hospitality operators across frituur (friteries), cafés, bakeries, foodtrucks, pizza restaurants, and similar segments, with no disclosed enterprise or chain anchor accounts.
