The story

Redcat is an Australian hospitality IT platform (founded 1992) serving fast casual, QSR, franchise, restaurant and café groups with an integrated stack covering POS (Polygon), online ordering, kiosks, loyalty apps, kitchen management and reporting. Customers include Nando's, Boost Juice, Chatime, Concept 8 and San Churro. The company has expanded from Australia into the UK via Redcat UK Limited. Embedded finance exposure is limited to gift cards, loyalty points, integrated EFTPOS via Polygon Payments Interface, and accounting connectors (Xero, MYOB, NetSuite via Celigo) — Redcat is not itself a payments or lending provider.
