What we do, end to end

One partner. Every system.

From front of house to back, we've got you covered. We scope, supply, install, integrate and support every system your venue runs on.

POS & Ordering

Point of sale that keeps up when the room is full. We spec, install and integrate Lightspeed, Square and Nomni, then layer in QR and online ordering through Bopple and Bite. Deliverect and Doshii tie every channel back into one system, so nothing falls through the cracks. Running a food truck or a festival stall instead of a fixed venue? We set up mobile-ready kits like Abacus Go so you can take orders and card payments anywhere the crowd is.

Internet & Networking

Connectivity that holds up from the pass to the courtyard. Business grade NBN and fibre internet, 4G failover, guest Wi-Fi and structured cabling, built for venues that genuinely cannot afford downtime.

Rostering & Back Office

Staff, stock and margins kept honest. Rostering, purchasing, inventory and loyalty tools that sync straight back to your POS, so the numbers on your screen are the numbers that are actually true.

CCTV & Cameras

Eyes on your venue from anywhere. We install Ubiquiti camera systems with remote viewing, POS overlay and secure cloud storage, so footage is safe and accessible from your phone even if something happens to the hardware on site.

Ongoing Support

One number to call for everything technical — phone, email or live chat, whichever suits how you work. On-site callouts when hardware needs hands, remote monitoring and same day response when it doesn't, plus menu management, staff training and CSP retainer plans for venues that want support on tap year-round.

Beyond the install

Professional services for bigger jobs.

When a venue needs more than a standard install, we bring in the specialist side of the business.

Network Assessment

A full audit of your venue's connectivity and hardware before we recommend a thing, so any investment matches what your space actually needs.

WhatsApp Live Group Chat

A dedicated WhatsApp group with our team for fast, informal updates during bigger projects — no ticket portal, just a message.

CCTV Mapping

Camera placement planned around your floor plan and blind spots, not guesswork, so coverage matches how your venue actually runs.

Fitout Design

Tech planned in from the start of a fit-out or renovation — power, cabling and hardware placement sorted before the tradies arrive.

Consultancy

Ongoing advice as your venue grows — from choosing your next platform to planning tech for a second site.

What sets us apart

The work you don't see — but can't do without.

This full-service model — delivered by a single point of contact with deep hospitality operations expertise — is what sets us apart from going direct to a vendor.

Branded Client Portal

Menu management clients get their own Innovators Direct-branded portal — a clean, professional interface for managing accounts and requests. The operational complexity powering it stays completely invisible.

Menu Management Support

Building, updating and maintaining menus across POS, online ordering and delivery platforms. Keeping every channel consistent and accurate is ongoing work most vendors leave entirely to you.

Financial Automation & Reporting

Automated reporting, end-of-day reconciliation and accounting integrations, so your numbers stay accurate without manual effort at month end.

These are the services that turn a technology reseller into a true operations partner.

Who we are

We bridge the gap between software and service.

Great hospitality tech is only great if it actually works when the room is full. Since 2014, Innovators Direct has helped venues across South-East Queensland choose, install, configure and support the technology that keeps service smooth and margins healthy.

We're not a call centre and we're not resellers reading off a spec sheet. Our founder spent 14 years in hotels, cafes, restaurants and bars before starting this company, so we know what a printer failure mid-service feels like. We use the tools we recommend in our own venues every day.

Your technology and operations partner — not just a POS reseller. One point of contact, everything you need, nothing you don't.

How it works

Three courses, one great result.

We've dealt with internet outages, printer failures and POS crashes mid-service. That's why our process starts with listening, not selling.

Step one

First Slice

We start with a chat over your regular drink order. We dig into what's slowing your service down, where you want to take the venue, and pinpoint exactly what you need — like a toothpick through a martini olive. No jargon, no upselling.

Step two

Next Course

We install the right hardware and the right mix of platforms for your venue, tune everything to your workflows, and train you and your team on the new gear. Then we stay close while your venue starts pumping.

Step three

Final Bite

We check in, top up training, and get your systems perfectly dialled in. Once everything's humming, we go on standby and let you get back to doing what you do best.

Who we help

Built for every kind of venue.

From a single coffee cart to a 100-site group, from a brand-new concept to an established institution — if you serve customers, we can help your tech keep up.
