Digitory Raises $500K Pre-Series A Funding to Scale Restaurant Tech Platform

India-based restaurant technology startup Digitory has raised $500,000 in a Pre-Series A funding round from angel investor Tejas Paresh Lodaya. The company plans to use the funds to scale market reach and strengthen operational support for its existing clients.

Founded by Shivaprakash S Mogali, Digitory has grown as a bootstrapped platform built and tested in active restaurant environments. The company focuses on operational systems designed to support restaurant profitability and expansion through data-backed processes.

Several restaurant chains currently use Digitory’s platform to manage multi-location operations, including Toit, Bier Library, Biergarten, Pumphouse, BlrBrewing, 1522, BygBrewski, Zero40 and Effingut Breweries. The investment is expected to support structured growth and broader market expansion for the platform.

Sharing his perspective on the investment, Tejas Paresh Lodaya, Angel Investor, said, “Digitory is solving a real problem in the hospitality sector — optimising complex restaurant operations at scale using tech. The product has been at the forefront in handling complex, volume-filled situations while being bootstrapped, which is quite rare to find at this stage. Seeing it from an investing viewpoint, Digitory has been a firm which deserved the investment given their mindful approach in building a quality, tested platform first, and moving to scale up second.”

Digitory was developed as operational infrastructure designed to help restaurant businesses run processes at scale. The platform combines local operational inputs with centralised cloud-based intelligence to support business continuity across multiple locations.

Commenting on the development, Shivaprakash S Mogali, Founder & CEO, Digitory said, “We are elated for having raised the $500k funding in Series A funding round. While our product has already been operating across restaurant for years, the funding round will aid boost distribution and scale up our operations at an enterprise level.”

The company plans to use the capital to expand distribution, increase enterprise onboarding, invest in research and development in automation and operational intelligence, and scale platform infrastructure.

Digitory has developed into a full-stack restaurant operations system that includes inventory intelligence, recipe management, kitchen display systems, QR-based ordering, workflow automation and performance metrics. Through its network, the platform has supported more than 1.8 million end customers prior to raising institutional capital.
