# Eclyde

> Eclyde is the AI-powered restaurant operating system built in Dublin, Ireland. One platform replaces POS, online ordering, kitchen display, AI phone ordering, delivery management, marketing automation, inventory, analytics, and customer intelligence for independent restaurants, takeaways, cafes, dark kitchens, pizza shops, and food trucks.

## What Eclyde Is

Eclyde is a fully AI-native restaurant operating system. Instead of stitching together 8-12 separate tools (Toast for POS, Flipdish for online ordering, Deliveroo for delivery, Mailchimp for marketing, etc.), Eclyde combines everything into one intelligent platform that thinks, learns, and grows the business automatically.

Built by a family with 50+ years in restaurants, Eclyde understands the late nights, tight margins, and chaos of multi-system management. Every feature is built around real restaurant operations, not theoretical software design.

## Who Eclyde Is For

- Independent restaurants
- Takeaways and quick-service restaurants
- Cafes and coffee shops
- Dark kitchens and ghost kitchens
- Pizza shops
