So'use invests in Igetnow

Gastrotech aims to become the leading self-ordering provider in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with this strategic investment.

According to the start-up So'use, it has invested a high six-figure sum in Igetnow. Both start-ups are active in the field of self-ordering. With the takeover, So'use aims to expand its customer base and jointly optimize the products it offers. From now on, both companies will operate together under the So'use brand.

"We expect strong growth across all vertical markets from our investment in Igetnow," says Ben Wollscheid, CEO and founder of So'use. Wollscheid hopes to establish self-ordering even faster as a core technology in the food service industry. Self-ordering would encourage guests in the food service industry to order faster and more frequently.

With self-ordering, guests scan a barcode and are then shown the menu. Guests can order and pay for food and drinks via their smartphone. According to So'use, this allows restaurateurs to increase their turnover. Founded in 2018, the start-up says it already has 500 customers
