It operates as vertical SaaS for single- and multi-unit restaurant operators, integrating deeply with POS systems for sales polling and with 1099/tax export tooling. The company was acquired by Restaurant365 in 2021 and Compeat-branded products continue to serve legacy customers.
Compeat's payroll is powered by Compeat Payroll (in-house).
Compeat is headquartered in Austin, TX.
