Karma officially launches as complete restaurant ecosystem platform, unveils fully integrated POS system and makes food waste prevention free for all customers using the full platform

Stockholm-based tech company completes strategic transformation from surplus food marketplace to comprehensive restaurant management platform, already trusted by some of Sweden's most prominent restaurants.

Karma today announces its evolution into a comprehensive restaurant platform, unveiling a fully integrated POS system alongside online ordering, payments, loyalty programs, marketing, inventory management, and analytics – all in one unified ecosystem.

Modular & connected

Unlike traditional restaurant tech forcing rigid packages, Karma's modular approach lets restaurants choose what they need. Every component shares data seamlessly – POS recognizes loyal customers, marketing knows inventory levels, online orders sync with kitchen displays.

"Restaurant owners loved our surplus food solution's simplicity and kept asking us to apply that philosophy elsewhere," says CEO Hjalmar Ståhlberg Nordegren. "Today we're delivering a complete ecosystem that makes running a profitable restaurant easier than ever."

Strategic pivot powered by AI

During its strategic pivot from marketplace to platform, Karma has made significant investments in artificial intelligence – both for internal operations and product development.

The platform uses AI that learns from usage patterns, analyzing ordering, customer behavior, and operations to provide actionable insights – from menu pricing to staff scheduling. "It's technology that gets smarter with every order," notes Ståhlberg Nordegren.

Sustainability without cost

In a move to democratize sustainable restaurant practices, Karma is making its renowned surplus food marketplace technology free for all platform customers starting today.

The platform has already helped thousands of restaurants turn potential waste into profit while feeding communities.

This expanded access means fighting food waste – which costs the global restaurant industry over $100 billion annually – can now be part of every restaurant's journey without additional investment, expected to prevent thousands more meals from going to waste each year.

Proven results

The Karma ecosystem is already trusted by leading Nordic operators - from Sweden's largest restaurant groups to fast-growing chains like Flippin' Burgers, John Scott's, Guilty Pleasure, Miss Voon, Urban Deli, and Kasai, as well as several of the biggest amusement parks in the region. The platform delivers:

• Average check increases up to 30%
• Doubled add-on sales through intelligent upselling
• Significant reduction in peak-hour staff stress
• Hours saved weekly on administrative tasks

The global restaurant management software market approaches $20 billion as establishments seek integrated solutions for rising costs and labor challenges. Karma eliminates the complexity of managing multiple vendors, giving restaurant teams their time back.
