Digitory Solutions, a Bengaluru-based restaurant technology startup, has raised $500,000 (about ₹4.55 crore) in a Pre-Series A round led by angel investor Tejas Paresh Lodaya. The fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand market reach across India and onboard larger enterprise clients in the organised food and beverage sector.
What Digitory does
Founded in 2016 by Shivaprakash S Mogali, Digitory builds a full-stack restaurant technology platform that integrates AI and machine-learning automation with POS and inventory management systems. Its modular solution links front-of-house and back-of-house operations, replacing disparate tools with a centralised, scalable ecosystem suited for single outlets and multi-location chains alike.
The platform includes recipe management, kitchen display systems, QR-based ordering, workflow automation, cost-control dashboards and performance analytics. These capabilities help restaurants reduce food wastage, improve kitchen coordination, monitor real-time operations and boost profitability through actionable data.
Use of funds and strategic priorities
Digitory plans to deploy the $500K across technology upgrades, research and development, and expansion of its sales and distribution network. A considerable portion will be dedicated to enterprise sales and onboarding larger restaurant brands, as the company seeks to deepen relationships with organised players adopting digital operations.
The startup will also intensify investment in automation features to reduce manual intervention, minimise errors and improve operational visibility—areas that have become priorities for F&B operators pursuing scale and efficiency.
Clients, traction and market context
Digitory’s client roster includes notable breweries and restaurant chains such as Toit, Bier Library, Biergarten, Pumphouse, BLR Brewing Co, 1522, Byg Brewski, Zero40 and Effingut Breweries. The company says its platform has supported operations serving more than 1.8 million end customers, reflecting growing adoption of tech-enabled management solutions within India’s hospitality industry.
As dining patterns evolve and competition intensifies, restaurateurs are increasingly turning to data-driven tools to optimise costs, streamline service and enhance customer experience. Digitory’s integrated approach—combining operational control with analytics—targets these core needs.
Investor outlook
Angel investor Tejas Paresh Lodaya’s lead in the Pre-Series A round underscores sustained investor interest in niche SaaS platforms addressing India’s sizeable hospitality market. Founder and CEO Shivaprakash S Mogali noted that the product has been validated in live restaurant settings and that the new capital will help accelerate distribution and enterprise expansion.
With organised F&B chains investing more in digital infrastructure, Digitory’s funding reflects broader momentum for specialised operational-technology startups offering pragmatic, revenue-impacting solutions for the hospitality sector.
