TRAY is reimagining the Point-of-Sale system around self-service.
Summary
TRAY is an Arizona-based startup reimagining the Point-of-Sale system around self-service. Where most restaurant POS systems were built for back-of-the-house ordering, TRAY’s DNA from the beginning was built for on-demand service for the consumer. TRAY is a complete point of sale system for the enterprise that specializes in self-service ordering and, unlike other legacy POS companies, it was built with self-service at its core, not as an afterthought. Since 2013, the company has grown quickly by fulfilling an underserved need in the restaurant and amusement and entertainment industries for integrated self-service technology. While TRAY has the capability to offer an end-to-end solution, it is just as happy integrating the self-serve system with a client’s legacy POS system – this is a key differentiator from competitors.
