Founding Story
In a business landscape where razor-thin margins and high-paced environments define the daily grind, the journey to establish OrderCounter began with a vision to empower smaller businesses, including those in the retail sector, with the tools to thrive.
In 2007, Thomas and Scott, fueled by the desire to level the playing field for businesses beyond just restaurants, initiated OrderCounter as an online ordering platform in their garage. Determined to provide a competitive edge accessible to smaller enterprises, they sought integrations with point-of-sale companies, only to encounter exorbitant barriers from legacy systems. Undeterred, the self-funded college students embarked on developing their own POS company, giving rise to the OrderCounter we know today.
As the landscape of technology evolved, our founders recognized the challenges businesses faced with both legacy and cloud-based systems. To bridge this gap, they ingeniously crafted the OrderCounter Hybrid POS—delivering ease of deployment and accessibility combined with the reliability of a traditional in-house server. With a commitment to staying ahead in the ever-changing tech realm, OrderCounter has grown through word of mouth, serving over 25,000 users globally.
Realizing the pain points of both, our founders have developed technology that merges the benefits of both, creating an OrderCounter Hybrid POS: easy to deploy and accessible everywhere with the reliability of a traditional in-house server. Through word of mouth, the growth of our restaurant and channel partner have accelerated to over 25,000 users worldwide.
Today, we stand as a tight-knit company driven by a passion for simplified service, supporting our channel partners and business owners in staying competitive in the modern age. Our mission is clear: to be the best partner our channel partners and businesses have ever had, fostering revenue growth through innovative point-of-sale solutions
