Our mission is to provide Ethiopian restaurants, cafes, and hotels with affordable, practical digital technology that improves operations, reduces costs, and creates a better experience for their customers. We believe every food business in Ethiopia — large or small — deserves access to modern restaurant technology.
Who We Are
Ethiopia's Leading Restaurant Technology Company.
Our vision is to become the number one restaurant technology platform across East Africa — starting from Ethiopia — by delivering the most complete, most accessible, and most locally relevant digital solutions for food and hospitality businesses.
Scan for Better Service — Our motto captures everything we stand for: using smart technology to make the restaurant experience faster, cleaner, and better for both customers and business owners in Ethiopia.
Abay QR is a digital solutions company established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with over 4 years of experience serving the local hospitality and food industry.
We specialize in end-to-end restaurant technology: from the QR code your customer scans at the table, to the kitchen display system that receives the order, to the booking system that fills your tables in advance. All built, supported, and maintained by a local Ethiopian team.
Unlike international software that isn't designed for the Ethiopian context, Abay QR understands local customer behavior, network conditions, and business needs — and builds accordingly. Our systems support Amharic and English, work with Ethiopian payment workflows, and are priced for local SMEs.
