Qikserve

QikServe is a digital ordering platform for hospitality that covers web and QR ordering, order-and-pay, open tabs, pay at table, mobile apps and self-ordering kiosks. It connects to a venue's existing EPoS and kitchen. The Access Group acquired it in September 2024 and now sells it inside Access Hospitality to restaurants, bars, hotels, quick-service brands and venues, mainly in the UK.
