Our Story

25 years building for Kiwi hospitality

We started as MenuMate in Christchurch in 1999. Today, as POSbiz, we're New Zealand's most trusted hospitality technology company — still based in Christchurch, still focused on making life easier for NZ operators.

Our Mission

We exist to make NZ hospitality operators more successful

POSbiz was founded with a simple belief: New Zealand hospitality operators deserve software that's built specifically for them — not adapted from overseas systems that don't understand GST, Eftpos, or the unique demands of the Kiwi market.

For over 25 years, we've been building, refining, and improving our platform based on direct feedback from the cafés, restaurants, bars, and hotels we serve. Every feature in POSbiz exists because a real NZ operator needed it.

We're not a Silicon Valley startup trying to disrupt hospitality. We're a Christchurch company that's been quietly making NZ hospitality better for a quarter century — and we're just getting started.

Our Journey

25 years of NZ hospitality tech

From a small Christchurch startup to New Zealand's leading hospitality platform.

1999

Founded in Christchurch

POSbiz (then MenuMate) was founded in Christchurch, New Zealand, with a single mission: build the best POS software for New Zealand hospitality.

2005

Expanding Across NZ

Grew to serve hundreds of venues across New Zealand, from small cafés to large hotel restaurants, establishing a reputation for reliability and local support.

2012

Online Ordering Launched

Launched commission-free online ordering — years before it became an industry standard — giving NZ venues a way to take orders online without paying platform fees.

2018

Insights App Released

Released the POSbiz Insights mobile app, giving venue owners real-time sales data from anywhere in the world — a first for NZ hospitality software.

2022

Reservations Module

Launched integrated online reservations, completing the full-stack hospitality platform: POS, online ordering, reservations, and analytics in one system.

2024

Rebranded to POSbiz

MenuMate became POSbiz — a new name reflecting a broader vision: a complete business platform for modern hospitality, not just a point-of-sale system.

What We Stand For

Our values

Everything we do is guided by a simple principle: make NZ hospitality operators more successful.

Built for Hospitality

Every feature we build starts with a real problem faced by a real NZ hospitality operator. We don't build features for the sake of it — we solve problems.

Proudly NZ-Based

We're based in Christchurch and our support team is here in New Zealand. When you call us, you speak to someone who knows your market and understands your business.

Reliable by Design

Hospitality never stops, and neither do we. Our software is built to be rock-solid, and our support is available 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Always Improving

We've been building hospitality software for 25+ years and we're still shipping new features every month. Our customers' feedback drives our roadmap.

MenuMate → POSbiz

You may know us as MenuMate

In 2024, we rebranded from MenuMate to POSbiz. Same team, same Christchurch base, same commitment to NZ hospitality — with a new name that better reflects everything our platform does today.
