Stock, cash, shifts, reservations and guests, under control.
Leave the spreadsheets behind. Stock that always balances, a till that reconciles itself, invoices and VAT up to date, shifts, reservations and guests, one back office for the whole restaurant.

A restaurant runs on a dozen spreadsheets that never agree with each other. The Octane is the one place they finally do.
It works the way a Swiss restaurant does
The rules a real establishment runs on are built in, not bolted on for a market it was never designed for.
QR-bill
Scan the Swiss QR-bill and the amount, IBAN and reference fill themselves in when you record the invoice.
L-GAV
The shift planner warns about rest periods and agreement limits while you build the week, before you publish it.
HACCP
Traceable temperature logs and hygiene checks, ready to show at an inspection.
Swiss francs and your language
Cash counted by CHF denomination, Swiss VAT rates built in, and the whole app in German, French, Italian, English and Spanish.
What it is, and what it stays out of
We kept the scope tight on purpose. The back office is the whole job, and only that.
The complete back office
Inventory, cash, invoices, shifts, reservations and guests, in one place, passing data between them.
Deterministic, on your server
Reorder, forecasting and anomalies are computed by rules on your own data. No data leaves for an AI service.
Yours to leave
Export your inventory, invoices and guest book whenever you want. Your data is never held hostage.
Not generic software
Built for restaurants and bars, not adapted from another industry. A venue's daily reality comes as standard.
Not your accountant
VAT tracking is informational, configurable rates and a clean export for your bookkeeper, not a tax engine.
Not a commission on your guests
Reservations charge a flat fee, never a per-cover or per-booking cut. Your guests are yours.
