About dev.family
Who we work with
- Multi-brand and franchise restaurant groups
- Bakery, food-to-go and regional grocery chains planning fresh production and orders
- Convenience and liquor retail chains that want loyalty data tied to the POS
- Food-tech and retail-tech vendors that need integrations built and maintained
What we build
- Guest channels on one menu: ordering apps, kiosks, digital menu boards and loyalty
- Run operations: demand forecasting, production planning, AI operations, delivery operations and managed integrations
- Connect your stack: POS and EPOS integrations, a master menu, franchise and HQ reporting, ERP and B2B
How we work
We build on top of your stack and don’t ask you to replace your POS. We start with a short Assessment (2–3 weeks) that gives you a working artifact and a clear estimate. Then we build the system and run it under an SLA. The code, models and connected data are yours.
Why teams work with us
- One data set across every brand, location and channel, instead of one report per system
- Integrations we build and then keep running under an SLA
- Loyalty and ordering migrations that keep every balance and every order history intact
Recent work
- A loyalty app for a 211-store liquor retail chain: average order value up 10% after the gamification release.
- Demand forecasting for a 600-store retail chain: on-shelf availability of 99.4% vs. 94.5% in a pilot (preliminary, before final acceptance).
- A franchise platform for about 75 restaurants: roughly 50 POS databases and one master menu.
- An ordering platform for about 40 brands, connected to delivery and POS partners.

:Puls. Custom Hybrid Event Management Software? – from Guest Lists to Logistics
Custom Hybrid Event Management Software?
Puls is a web and mobile platform developed by dev.family for Upjet, a corporate event management company that organizes large-scale conferences, incentive programs, and business travel worldwide. The goal was to replace fragmented spreadsheets and manual coordination with a centralized system capable of managing participants, logistics, and travel arrangements end to end.
The main challenge was the operational complexity of large events: hundreds of participants, multi-city itineraries, and constant changes in flights, hotels, and transfers. Upjet needed a system that would maintain accuracy and transparency across all stakeholders while staying easy to use.
dev.family designed and built Puls as an integrated ecosystem that connects administrators, partners, and attendees in real time. The platform enables managers to create projects, define routes and accommodation, control documentation and visas, and track each participants journey. Attendees access personalized event data through a mobile app with live updates on schedules, flights, and bookings. Any change in travel or accommodation instantly synchronizes across web and mobile interfaces.
The system was implemented using Laravel for the backend and React / React Native for the web and mobile layers. A custom design system ensured a consistent UX and reusable interface components. Robust API architecture supports high data volumes and real-time synchronization across multiple active events.
As a result, dev.family delivered a scalable, enterprise-grade product that automated Upjets core operations, minimized human error, and reduced coordination time across departments. Puls has become a reliable foundation for further expansion and integration with third-party travel and booking services.
