About BookingTek
From our founder’s garage to the world’s largest hotel chains
Since its founding in 2011, BookingTek has become a leader in the development of innovative digital solutions for the world’s largest hospitality groups. From humble beginnings in founder Matthew Stubbs’ garage, the software platform quickly garnered attention from some big players in the hotel industry.
Popular for its advanced approach to enterprise-grade direct booking solutions and its key integrations with the likes of Oracle Micros systems, it wasn’t long before world-leading hotel chains were onboard.
The team built the very first online meeting booking and payment solution for hotels and have gone on to produce a range of digital products that include a direct restaurant reservation system with channel manager, floor manager and contactless mobile order-pay app.
Most recently, BookingTek built an omnichannel digital ordering solution with a built-in ecommerce solution that is integrated with Oracle Simphony and 10 other POS systems. Its extensive functionality is easy to deploy across a large estate and gives customers a seamless experience on any device.
All products can be delivered stand-alone, hybrid or fully integrated with Oracle hospitality software like Opera PMS and Simphony POS and dozens of other hospitality systems. This approach enables quick and easy rollout, by large groups, across multiple geographies in multiple languages and currencies.
