Run every shift
the same way - every time.
Digital opening and closing checklists, temperature logs and compliance records for restaurants, bars and cafes. Olia replaces paper and WhatsApp chasing with a simple system your team actually uses.
Opening soon · from €79 · per location · no per-user fees
Everything you need to run a consistent operation.
Purpose-built features for hospitality - not adapted from a generic task manager.
Daily checklists
Opening, closing, and mid-shift routines built for your venue, fully customisable by your team.
Compliance logs
Allergen checks, fridge temperature records, all timestamped. Downloadable and audit-ready.
Issue reporting
Managers get notified directly in the app. Issues are tracked to resolution.
SOP & training hub
Procedures, recipes, cleaning standards in one place. New starters get up to speed fast.
Reporting & analytics
Completion rates, recurring issues, training history - surfaced automatically. No manual logging.
Multi-location visibility
Compliance status from a central dashboard. Spot inconsistencies, maintain standards, stay in control.
Your team won't fight this.
Staff aren't asked to create accounts or learn new software. They tap through tasks on a tablet in your venue and move on with their shift.
- Staff see exactly what's expected, no guessing.
- Staff log through tasks on a tablet already in your venue.
- Nothing to learn. Nothing to remember. Just show up and do the shift.
- New starters are operational on day one.
Not a repurposed task manager.
Olia was built from the ground up for shift-based teams, compliance logging, and multi-location oversight.
Kiosk-first, app-free
Staff don't download anything. The kiosk lives on a tablet in your venue. No login, no friction - tap and go.
Compliance-grade logging
Every completion is timestamped and stored. Allergen checks, hygiene standards, and audit trails - automatically.
Multi-location dashboard
One clear view of every venue. Spot inconsistencies, maintain standards, and stay in control from your phone.
Olia started, as most good ideas do, with a not-so-subtle nudge from the universe.
Dora had just walked out of her corporate job for the last time when she ran into Jay outside a cafe.
His locations had been running without him on site for years - but keeping tabs on everything from a distance meant leaning on a patchwork of apps that refused to talk to each other. He'd already built two tools to solve his own problems along the way; nothing existed yet for the one that mattered most - everyday hospitality operations.
Dora had spent a decade building large-scale products, Wallapop among them. What followed was months of increasingly unhinged WhatsApp voice memos, and eventually, Olia.
Two co-founders, one shared frustration.
We started Olia together after seeing the same problem from opposite sides of the business.
Jay Crichton
Jay's been solving problems since he left school at 16 to study Automotive Engineering. At 22, he left New Zealand, studied Marine Engineering at Southampton Maritime University in the UK, and spent 11 years at sea rising to Chief Engineer on superyachts - solving problems for billionaires.
Along the way, he built My Crew Kit, a portal that consolidates everything crew need and helps crew-related businesses get noticed. Next came restaurants. Little Fern, his Barcelona restaurant group, now spans two locations, a cafe, a bakery, a central kitchen, and a wholesale business, feeding hundreds of people a day. A few years in, he built Reorderfy to optimise daily supplier orders - still in use across Little Fern and other restaurants today.
Olia came from the same instinct: no proper tool existed for hospitality ops, so he was patching one together himself, out of workarounds.
Dad to two girls. Loves a fast-paced game of padel, and is a self-confessed tech geek with a soft spot for simple things done really well. Ask him about music and you'll get a lifelong player, loving music spanning too many genres to list, with a soft spot for polyrhythms.
Dora Angelov
Dora's been solving problems since she left Croatia at 18 - bachelor in Graz, master in Berlin, her first "real" job in Munich - before landing in Barcelona, where she's spent the last decade first in project, then in product management.
Along the way, she spent six years at Netcentric (Cognizant) running delivery for enterprise clients worldwide, then moved into product proper: at Wallapop, leading the international expansion into Italy and aligning roadmaps and strategy across teams, before becoming Head of Product at Mood, an American hyper-growth startup. In between, she founded her own consultancy, Digissance, running it for two years until the client list outgrew what a two-person team could deliver.
Mum to three girls. Loves cooking for friends and family, and stress-bakes when things get chaotic - so if there's fresh banana bread around, something's probably on fire. Ask her about music and you'll get Arctic Monkeys, Tracy Chapman, Rawayana, and The Beatles in the same breath, no apologies.
Basically: one of them can untangle any operational problem you throw at him, the other can turn it into a roadmap. Together, they're building the ultimate operational system for any hospitality business - so operators can spend less time firefighting and more time on everything else that makes a business worth running.
A few strong opinions.
Human first
We design for the person on the floor at 11pm, not the person building the pitch deck.
Radically simple
If it takes a training session, we haven't finished building it yet.
Built to be trusted
Owners should get visibility without staff feeling watched. We hold that line.
Doing things complicated simple.
From day one, the people actually running the shift have been our #1 priority. Here's what that means in practice.
The floor comes first.
Every feature gets judged by whether a tired person on a Saturday night would actually use it, not whether it looks good on a slide.
Simple beats clever.
If it needs training, it's not done yet. Staff should be able to pick it up mid-shift with no explanation.
Consistency is the product.
The goal isn't more checklists - it's the same standard, on the same shift, at every venue, every time.
Trust, not surveillance.
We build tools that give owners visibility, not tools that make staff feel watched. Those aren't the same thing.
Boring is a feature.
Reliable, unglamorous software that never goes down beats a flashy product that breaks during service.
Simple pricing per location.
No per user. Unlimited users per location. Cancel anytime.

Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know before Olia opens its doors.
When can I start?
Olia is opening soon. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first to get in. We'll email you the moment it's your turn.
How long does it take to set up?
Once you're in, most venues are running in under an hour. No IT department, no lengthy onboarding.
Do my staff need to download anything or create an account?
No. Olia is kiosk-first. Staff tap through tasks on a tablet already in your venue, with no app to install and nothing to sign up for.
What's included in the compliance logging?
Every checklist completion is timestamped and stored automatically - allergen checks, fridge temperature records, hygiene standards - downloadable and audit-ready.
Can I use Olia across multiple venues?
Yes. The Growth plan gives you a multi-location dashboard with no cap on venues - each one is simply billed per location; Enterprise is a custom, volume-priced contract for larger groups.
Is there a contract, or can I cancel anytime?
Plans will be billed monthly with no long-term contract, so you can cancel anytime. Pricing is per location, not per user, so adding staff never costs extra.
