Our Values
At Kobas, we believe that hospitality venues provide an important service for humanity and community, being essential interaction spaces for celebrations, commiserations, and everything in-between. We are here to support people working in hospitality, as they in turn provide for us all. We are passionate about innovation, technology and quality. We believe that work should be fulfilling, exciting, and enjoyable for everyone. These beliefs, along with our love of hospitality, drive us to provide our holistic hospitality management service known as Kobas.
Kobas began in 2008 with a simple frustration.
Back in 2008, a popular bar group was managing stock through spreadsheets. Everything was manual. Scaling was painful. The operational picture was fragmented.
Our team believed there was a better way. And that better way was developed. What started as an internal stock management tool quickly transformed the way the business operated – admin efficiency, tighter stock control, and a stronger operational foundation across multiple sites.
That early platform became the technical foundation of Kobas 👇🏼
From single-purpose platform to complete system.
As development continued in collaboration with other ambitious hospitality brands, a broader problem became clear. Stock wasn’t the only challenge. Critical functions were being managed across disconnected systems that didn’t speak to each other – EPoS, workforce management, customer data, and reporting.
The result? Duplicated effort. Manual workarounds. Incorrect data (and lots of it). Hospitality teams didn’t need more processes and systems, they needed a connected one.
In response, Kobas evolved from a single-purpose platform into a broader hospitality system built around five core pillars which service different areas of a business: In-Venue, Operations, Customers, Teams, and Insights.
This is the software used by Kobas clients today – a connected and complete hospitality system designed to operate as the core solution and with the flexibility to integrate with specialist third-parties.
