OpenQloud Manifesto
Why neutrality matters for the global hospitality ecosystem.
The hospitality industry has evolved faster than its technology. Today, a typical restaurant interacts with dozens of platforms: POS, marketplaces, logistics, payments, reservations, inventory, loyalty, proprietary apps, kiosks, QR, aggregators, and back-office tools.
Each one needs data from the others. Each one tries to stay in sync with the rest. Each one speaks a different language.
The result is fragmented data, duplications, operational errors, hard-to-maintain code, and thousands of hours rebuilding the same integrations over and over.
For years, middleware providers have tried to connect this ecosystem. But the story is always the same: middleware adds layers of functionality, ships its own products, and ends up competing with the platforms it was meant to help. That accumulation makes middleware lose neutrality and become yet another actor in the game.
The industry needs neutrality. And it needs it now.
That’s why we created OpenQloud.
OpenQloud is not a POS, not a marketplace, not an operational SaaS. It is not an app. OpenQloud is a standard and a universal technical layer.
OpenQloud is neutral storage, a unified data model, normalized integrations, open APIs, and a real-time events system that lets any hospitality platform sync without friction.
No business logic.
No competing with the actors who connect.
No claiming ownership of the restaurant.
Only infrastructure.
Only synchronization.
Only neutrality.
We believe in an industry where every platform can focus on what it does best: POS on being great POS, marketplaces on being great marketplaces, SaaS on innovating their products, and restaurants on operating without friction or opaque dependencies.
That’s why we open OpenQloud: so every platform can build, expand, and innovate on a common standard without losing independence or identity.
OpenQloud exists to connect everyone, while belonging to no one.
